I'm trying to recreate the following Excel-created graph in Tableau. My data has traffic organized by month-year Eg., 01-01-2016, 02-01-2016 ...etc. for each year. Would changing the data format be required, or can I work with this as is?
I'm following the tutorial here but the closest I can get is:
There are two ways to accomplish this easily.
1. Change the marks card type from Automatic to Line.
Additionally, here is some information on Discrete vs Continuous Pills which cause many new users confusion.
Discrete = Distinct buckets like apples, oranges, peaches, etc Continuous = Any values on an axis like percentage, sales, etc
For dates, discrete dates are parts of the month like days (1, 2, 3...), months (Jan, Feb, March...). A continuous date would be Jan 2019, Feb 2019, etc (these are truncated dates because they include the entire date starting from earlier in time to later in time.
In the picture, the list in green is continuous and the list in blue is discrete.
