This article covers some frequently asked questions about a dotted line in an Amplitude chart.
Why does my chart show a dotted line?
Whenever you see a dotted line in an Amplitude chart, that means Amplitude is still receiving events for that day or data point. Once all relevant data has been collected, the dotted line will become a solid line.Why does my chart show a dotted line?
If new user performed their first event on March 13 at 7pm. On March 15 at 9 am, you check the retention chart and see this: The dotted line extending to the March 13 data point tells you there still may be outstanding events for that day. This happens because the Change Over Time metric is calculated in 24-hour-windows. And at 9 am on March 15, we are still within the user’s Day 1 retention period: As of 9 am on March 15, this user's Day 1 is not over, which means this data point could still change.
