Create a line chart that contains three field?

I want to create a line chart that contains "closed cases", "new cases", "cases in process", which x and y axis should I choose? In x axis, I don't have choice that only means date, they are all "create date", "closed date"?
Should I create some new fields? OR use some formula to solve my problem?

  • np,
    make three formula fields which calculate to a 1 or null like this

    iF([Status] ="Open", 1)

    Repeat for the other two Statuses.

    Then make a Line Chart report.  Select the first calculated field as the Y axix. Then hover beside that report element to get the green plus to add another Y axis line. 

    Repeat for the third calculated Status count.

      Thanks Mark, but my problem is not solved,  I still have some questions.
      1. What do I choose for the X-axis?
      2. Should I create these three fields or modify them?
      3. What should I do if I don't have the field I want when I choose the Y-axis?
      4. What if I select Create date on the X-axis and I want to show a line graph of the closed case?
      I'd appreciate it if you could help me out!

        1. What do I choose for the X-axis?Typically a date field or a date /time field.
        2. Should I create these three fields or modify them? Create three new fields. 
        3. What should I do if I don't have the field I want when I choose the Y-axis?  Create the three new fields. 
        4. What if I select Create date on the X-axis and I want to show a line graph of the closed case?  Select the Y axis to be the closed case formula field.
