This data visualization is best used to track changes over a period of time, whether it is short or long. These should be preferred over bar charts when the changes are small.
They can also be used to compare the changes that take place in more than one group over the same period of time.
Usage Example
You can use it to show all the current opportunities by stage according to different categories like Industry, employee count, or anything else that could help you understand where those opportunities are coming from.
