Report Builder - Column Line graph

Related products: None

Do we have the ability to utilize the column line chart off a single data source, similar to the google doc graph below?





Hi Elliot,





Column line visualization gets activated when there are 2 fields in show me and 1 in group by. First field in show me becomes the column and the second field becomes line by default. We are currently thinking to enhance Column line to support up to 6 fields in show me and give admins the option to chose a line. 





Unfortunately, even with the above enhancement, we cannot build the graph you are suggesting. Currently, in report builder, we cannot add a single field multiple times. One way to do that is to populate the previous year's data in a custom field, extract month to a distinct field and then group by month's field while showing both the current and previous year's data fields in show me. Basically, do the same at data level (via rules) what you did in excel!
