Hi,

How Can I do a simple line graph, here is an example:

I got four Fields ( Fruits, June, July, August), like this
alt text

and I want on XAxis( June, July, August) and each fruit must be a serie, like this:
alt text

So there is no time fields on this one, so probably I need to use |chart

Assuming your data or base search gives a table like in the question, they try this

your base search | table Fruits, June, July, August  | untable Fruits Months Value | chart first(Value) over Month by Fruits

Use the line chart as visualization.

Can someone explain exactly what is happening when using untable?

search should have
| timechart count by fruit

to show line chart
<option name="charting.chart">line</option>

to split series
<option name="charting.layout.splitSeries">1</option>

to show independent Y-Axis ranges
<option name="charting.layout.splitSeries.allowIndependentYRanges">1</option>

That is it!!! well almost, the only thing is: How can I change the order of the months? because, right now is like August -> July -> June!! need to be June -> July -> August.

I got it: | sort str(Months) desc

Thank you very much, could you please explain every step?

One more thing, you forgot to put 's' on """""| chart first(Value) over Month"""", can you correct?, is better if someone falls here.
