Why Implement a Target line?
A target line helps you track goals, compare actual data to expectations, and visualize performance benchmarks in a graph. It makes trends clearer, aids decision-making, and improves data interpretation.

-
You can only add a Target Line if your graph contains numerical data.
-
Target Lines can be applied to bar and line charts in Capptions Direct.

Adding a Target Line does not alter the original data but enhances visualization and interpretation.
