I would like to create a line chart that shows year to year comparison.....see attached image....how can I do this?? thanks

This topic has been closed for replies.

I suggest making a field called Year which calculates the Year.  It should be possible then to have the "series" be the Year.  I did not test that so let me know if that does or does not work.

Mark, thanks for the advice. Question: Will I also need to create a Month field for the x axis?

Actually, yes you will.  Initially make a numeric field with a formula of Month([my date field]) to test that.  It will read as numbers as opposed to words.  if you get it working and the number months bother you post back here.

I know this is an old thread but how did you get the report to consistently start in January several years back?  I am trying to do something like this and have a snapshot table.  I only want the last 2 years of history plus my current year.  But I always want it to start in January.  So, for example, today is July 10th 2019.  I want my graph to start January 2017 through today.

Ivan, can you explain where in my responses above you are getting stuck?
