Use case example: Sales-to-date against target
The line chart in above example shows monthly actual number of sales-to-date recorded against the budget/target. Months are plotted on X-axis and the number of sales values are plotted on Y-axis.
We can see that this organization/department is well short of targets right from the first month of the year.
This is a great chart for monthly report and performance dashboard for client / management reporting.
