Time Series chart example:

Let us consider the following sample data for a Time Series chart.

Date	Series 1	Series 2
2017-01-01	50	40
2017-01-02	40	35
2017-01-03	45	26
2017-01-04	30	45
2017-01-05	50	40
2017-01-06	45	35
2017-01-07	60	45
2017-01-08	45	48
2017-01-09	55	31
2017-01-10	48	32
2017-01-11	60	21
2017-01-12	45	35
2017-01-13	65	10
2017-01-14	45	25
2017-01-15	55	15

The following codes create a Bubble chart from the above sample data:
