What is a multi-series line chart?
A multi-series line chart places several related trends on the same axes. Each line represents a group, such as a region, plan or product. A shared scale lets readers compare both the level of each series and how its direction changes over the same period.
When to use it
Use it to compare trends across a few groups: which region leads, whether a gap is widening, or whether products move together. Use comparable units on a shared scale. If the question is relative growth from different starting values, consider an indexed chart with a common starting value of 100. Use separate panels when overlapping lines become hard to follow.
Design tips
Keep colours and series names consistent across charts so readers can recognise a region immediately. Leave the legend visible when the lines are not directly labelled.
Limit the number of simultaneous series. If crossings obscure the story, split the chart into smaller panels or show only the groups needed for the comparison.
Use a shared time range and interval. A shorter or incomplete series should remain visibly incomplete rather than being padded with zeros.
