I would be Nice to have option for setting dotted or solid lines for each rowset in a linechart. typically used for illustrating Budget/forecasts (dotted) and actuals (solid)

RE: dotted lines in linecharts

Dash line formats would be a big help

RE: dotted lines in linecharts

This should be added by now, how do you do forecasting without this.

Curved trend lines like in Excel, rather than just straight ones.

RE: dotted lines in linecharts

We'd like this multiple ways. As separate lines for a dimension but also on the same line where we can show the actuals transitioning to forecast values or even monthly/yearly goals. Line thickness will help as well.

Dotted lines
Adjustable line thickness

These would be awesome!

RE: dotted lines in linecharts

Yes! Line type/style, thickness, and data-point dots would be very helpful. Even allowing the reference line to track to a data field (rather than just typing in a number) would help.

RE: dotted lines in linecharts

The standard ones in many MS products or at least the common HTML border styles, e.g. Solid, Dashed, Dotted. Those 3 would be a nice start.

* Solid, Dashes, Dots, etc. e.g. Line style
