# Fill the Area Between Lines

You can shade the area between lines in line and timeline charts to accentuate the spread between two measures.

To show the spread between minimum and maximum values of closed opportunities in a timeline chart, for example, click **Shade Area**. Then choose the measures from the **Measure 1** and **Measure 2** menus, and pick a color for the shading from **Color for Shading**.

To focus on the shading, and not the lines, the chart hides the lines and legend for measures specified in **Measure 1** and **Measure 2**, unless you select them in the **Color of Shading** field.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)

Note The colors of the measures are based on the theme in the legend. The measure colors can change when you select the shade color or if lines are removed from the chart.
