- Show an evolution of a calculation of a measure (over time) for limited number of elements.
- The order plays a role.
- Could be used to show calculations such as the EBITDA or show the evolution of a measure over time, such as the number of active consumers (not opted-out) per month over a year.
- Data preparation: When using this chart, it is recommended to have a dataset that contains 2 (or 4) measures displayed as such:
- LOW-value, OPEN-value, CLOSE-value, HIGH-value
- OPEN-value of a day = CLOSE-value of the previous day.
