Time Plot generates a single point instead of continuous line.

Hello,

I am trying to create a time plot for the first row values of the table. Value vs Time ( as highlighted in the global table). The values in the cell are changing dynamically and I want to plot that change over time. However, there is only a single dot that is being generated and a line isn't generated inspite of the draw style option in the properties of the plot being "Line". I changed the Time value to date and time format and yet it doesn't work. The time value in the global table is a discrete number. ( generated by the "CURRENT_DAY" command).

A Calculated Table doesn't store values. It only contains the current result of the query.

You need to use a Statistics Collector instead. Which in this case you don't have to build yourself, necessarily. Change the table cell into a Tracked Variable.

Then link it to a Tracked Variable Line Chart

Hello, It still doesn't plot the graph inspite of assigning the datatype as tracked variables.

Can you upload your model or share screenshots of the table and chart settings?
