How to structure the data

  • 01Use one ordered label/category column and one numeric series.
  • 02Keep rows in the exact sequence the area boundary should follow.
  • 03Vizvero includes zero in the Y domain because the filled region is measured from the baseline.

What this example shows

Start with one ordered series when you want the filled area to emphasize magnitude as well as trend.

Area chart vs area graph

Area chart and area graph are commonly used for the same filled trend visualization. Vizvero uses one editor and data model for both terms.
