Multiplot charts have a common X axis with the Y axis displaying different values. Some of the most common combinations of plots in a chart are:
To compare data points between two plots, you can use the following functions, available in the Expression Editor (Plot > Rule > Condition):
CurrentValue - represents the current value of a data point on specified plot.
Example: =CurrentValue("plot1"); =CurrentValue("plot1","high");
NextValue - represents the data point value next to current value on specified plot.
Example: =NextValue("plot1"); =NextValue("plot1","high");
PreviousValue - represents the data point value previous to current value on specified plot.
Example: =PreviousValue("plot1"); =PreviousValue("plot1","high");
Note: The second argument in the examples above is optional and is required only in a Financial or Gantt chart. Supported values are high, low, open, close, lower, upper.
Let's look at some multiplot chart examples.
