How to Display a Reference Line in a Graph Visualization
A reference line, also referred to as a base line, is a user-defined vertical or horizontal line in the graph. Use reference lines to compare, reference, or measure against the data values displayed in the graph.
In a graph visualization that displays regional revenue values, you can define a reference line for your target revenue, to see at a glance how each region compares to the target.
You can display one or more reference lines in a graph visualization, using different line types. Reference lines are available if the X or Y axis contains a metric. Reference lines are not available for stacked graphs.
- Click on the graph visualization you want to modify.
-
Right-click the numeric axis to use as a basis for the reference line. If the axis contains more than one metric, choose the metric name. Then, select Add Reference Line and the location of the reference line.
- To format a reference line, right-click it and choose Format. A pop-up menu displays the appropriate formatting options. In addition, the Format panel automatically updates the first drop-down to the Reference Lines option and the corresponding format options appear.
- Select the appropriate options to format the reference line.
