# Data Series

A data series is a collection of related points.

In **ViewZen Analytics**,

* **Multiple Data Series** - Multiple data series are allowed on a single chart. E.g.,
  * Line Series
  * Bubble Series
  * Column Series
  * Area Series
  * Waterfall Series
* **Series Appearance** - Each data series can have unique colors, markers, and line styles to differentiate it from others.
* **Special Series** - Currently two special data series are allowed&#x20;
  * **Tooltip** - The data points from this series can be added to a data tooltip.
  * **Color** - The data point from this series can be used in color formatting (condition based).

{% hint style="info" %}
***If there is only one measure (i.e., a single data series), the series type cannot be set to tooltip or color. To use tooltip or color as a series type, at least one additional data series must be present.***
{% endhint %}
