The Multi Line Chart with Tooltips is a custom Power BI visual designed to display multiple data series over time, allowing users to easily identify patterns, trends, and comparisons. It enhances standard line charts by enabling rich, interactive tooltips that reveal detailed information when hovering over any data point.
This visual is ideal for use cases such as financial analysis, sales performance tracking, or operational trend monitoring, where understanding the interaction between different metrics over time is critical.
