Introduction
During week 42’s community month challenge brought to us by Thys van der Westhuizen – Thys built on my week 37 challenge – My First Deneb. For that week’s challenge I built out three basic bar charts using Deneb visuals, and subsequently, Thys continued to build a few more amazing visuals in his challenge. This week we are building upon both of those challenges and creating even more fun Deneb visuals!
Using the template that Thys built out, we are going to build three line charts. The first line chart is your most basic line chart. The second line chart is going to layer on dots to indicate each year in the data, and then our last chart will be a line chart with the dots as well as data labels on the dots. Check out the example below!
