I have a time series graph showing a generic metric and I want to display inflection points along the x-axis to show key launch dates associated with a release version. I’m aware of Reference Lines, but those remain fixed/static when adjusting the time range of the chart and can disrupt the visual of a shorten data range when the Reference Lines can be in the extended past. I then attempted to use a Blended Data source, using a google sheet containing the dates and release version, but I am only able to display a count of the number of values per date instead of the release version (dimension). Is there a workaround to display the dimension value of each release version over their respective dates?
This might be possible with some community visualizations, but you’re right that there isn’t really a way to take dimension values and use them as chart labels over existing metrics.
You could hack it by creating a second metric that has the release version, but that might look weird to your end users.
