Q: Can you plot multiple curves on a line chart?
I was exploring the tool to better understand its capabilities before making a purchase. However, I can't figure out how to plot a second line on a line plot. Is this possible? Additionally, can I create a dashboard with different plots arranged next to each other? Thanks

Edited Nov 23, 2024A: Hello,
Thanks for checking out InstaCharts!
To plot multiseries data, make sure each series name appears in one column, and all series values appear in another column. You may need to transform your data in order to achieve this. https://instacharts.io/docs/sheets/transform-data/
To then make a multiseries line chart, select grouped line chart from the chart type dropdown, select a column for the X-Axis(Preferably a date), choose the series value column for the Y-Axis, then choose the series name column as your group axis.
Here is an example of a multi series line chart so you can inspect the chart settings and underlying data structure: https://instacharts.io/app/share/569d914d-76f2-4de4-94d0-07291673b581
To answer your second question, InstaCharts does not offer dashboard capabilities at this time; you can however embed charts made with InstaCharts into your own webpages in a dashboard layout.
I hope this answers your questions! Let me know if I can help with anything else.
