Tableau: How to Make Spark Lines
Updated: May 13, 2021

Spark lines are often used in Tableau to show a large amount of date in a small area. They are tiny line charts that are added to the right of a chart to show more detail.
Step 1:
Build a bar chart using category, subcategory and sum([Sales]). Duplicate the sheet.

Step 2:
Add month([Date]) to columns. Move sum([Sales]) to rows. This will create separate line charts.

Step 3:
Right click the axis, and select Edit. Change the range to “Independent axis ranges”
