Compare multiple data series with stacked or overlapping area visualizations.
Format: Column A = X-axis, additional columns for each series
An area chart is similar to a line chart, but the area below the line is filled with color. This makes it easier to see the magnitude of values over time and is especially useful for showing cumulative totals, trends, or the volume of something changing over a period.
Use an Area Chart when you want to emphasize the volume or magnitude of change over time. The filled area gives a sense of "weight" to the data. Use a Line Chart when you just want to show the trend or direction without emphasizing volume, or when comparing multiple data series where overlapping areas might be confusing.
A stacked area chart shows multiple data series stacked on top of each other. Each series starts where the previous one ends, making it easy to see both individual and total values. It's great for showing how different categories contribute to a total over time, like revenue from different product lines.
Yes! Upload an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file with your data. Column A should contain your X-axis labels (like months or dates), and Column B should contain the corresponding Y-values. For multi-series charts, add more columns for each series.
You can export your area chart as PNG, JPEG, or SVG. PNG and JPEG are great for presentations and documents. SVG is vector-based and perfect for web use or when you need the chart to scale to any size without losing quality.
