Charts are data visualizations that live in the Measure Element, when you add new data to a Measure Data Table, your charts will automatically populate with the new information. 

New Measures automatically come with a chart, you can edit the existing chart and also add more charts to the Measure.

Choose the measure you are going to be working with

To Edit an existing chart

From the Chart Edit window \

We have 9 categories of Default Charts to choose from

The Chart Date Range dropdown controls which periods are shown on the chart\
This can be helpful for limiting a chart for only the most recent and therefore more relevant periods.\

The Reporting Frequency is set to use the Measure reporting frequency by default \
However you can choose another reporting frequency from the dropdown menu to display a different reporting cadence on the chart.\
Click Save to see it update on the detail page

For example, you may have a monthly measure but want to build a quarterly chart using the same data. 

If you have multiple Measures Series, you may want to consider adding another chart to your Measure Detail page, splitting the data into more than one chart can help others better understand the narrative around the measure.
