Tableau is a powerful data visualization tool that allows users to create interactive and dynamic charts. One popular type of chart in Tableau is the line chart, which is used to show trends over time. In Tableau, users can create line charts with multiple measures to compare different metrics over the same time period or different durations.
To create a line chart with multiple measures in Tableau, start by connecting to your data source and selecting the measures you want to include in the chart. Drag and drop the measures onto the Rows or Columns shelf, depending on how you want to display the data. You can also add a dimension to the Columns or Rows shelf to break down the data further.

Comparing Different Durations in a Tableau Line Chart
When comparing different durations in a Tableau line chart, you can use the Date field to show data over different time periods. For example, you can compare sales data for this year versus last year or month-to-month trends. By adding a date filter to your line chart, you can easily switch between different durations and compare the data visually.
