Visualization for data with large difference in values.

I can't seem to find the right terms to search to find my answer so I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I'm looking for a clean way to do the timechart command when your field values could be 5 or 500,000. With such a large difference it makes plotting them on a map useless for the smaller numbered results. I would do this to a table, but it's nice to have the timechart command show the usage over time and make it a good visual reference.

If you have another way to do this, or another command I should use that would be great.

Thanks,

Go ahead and use timechart. Change the visualization format for the Y axis to log.
