- Draw an arrow from Categorize with AI to Visualize and click “Edit this view”
- In the top left, change the view from a Table to a Column chart
- Name the chart “Sales over time”, and make the X-axis Order date
- Under Y-axis, click “+ Add series”, then select Revenue (also change Count all to Sum)
