Frame 1571 - Which does it for you?

Bar charts. The line chart looks nice, but isn’t the right way to visualize values that start at zero every day
The other thing to keep in mind is the current day will always be a partial day. It may be better to highlight “yesterday” since that’s the last *complete* day
Thanks Matt for the explanation, I totally agree. The reason I created 2 iterations was because a different component was using bar charts and I was looking to find a way to not be repetitive in showing data but also give at a glance what the data is.
These show the complete week with the current day of the week highlighted. However, I may have misunderstood your question, if you don’t mind please rephrasing it.
My thought is that line charts are great for showing how a cumulative value changes over time (stock price, heart rate, etc). With traffic, every day starts at zero and each day is a unique measure. So bar charts better communicate what I think you’re trying to get across.
