How can I create a single time series chart with lines for each device category (mobile, desktop, tablet)?


I can't figure out how to map a single metric but filtered in a single time series chart. I want to see a single chart for Views, but different lines for mobile, desktop, and tablet users by day.

A filter affects the whole chart, and a calculated field doesn't seem to do anything. I tried making "Device - mobile (calculated)" by using:

REGEXP_MATCH(Device category, "mobile")

But that just broke my chart. I am not an admin in my organization so I have limited access to functions. Basically, I want these two charts to be one: two charts - desktop views & mobile views

ETA: Using "Device Category" doesn't do what I want. It presents as a single line for views by day. not working: time series chart with device category


Solution

  • Looker Studio success breakdown in device category

    You want to see something like this right?

    Device Category as a breakdown dimension is right.

    From the screenshot you show. You place the Device Category as metric so it shows a line. It should put in breakdown dimension:
