Hey MG, can you tell me what should I write in the number format to make it show dates?

Like Jan 22, 2022. Is this possible?

Hey AFC! :)

So, if you want to add dates on your chart, you should do (in the first column of data) the following:

YYYY-MM-DD

Example: 2022-01-22

Woah, what happened to Nova Iguaçu?

My first guess was criminality and violence, as the city of Rio de Janeiro and the Baixada Fluminense are kinda dangerous places. But it wasn’t the case.

This is due to the emancipation of a lot of districts on the 40s and 90s (although the big down was between the 2000s). They made what are currently the municipalities of (by order of creation), Duque de Caxias (that was also split at south for the creation of São João de Meriti), Nilópolis, Belford Roxo, Queimados, Japeri, and Mesquita. The worst losses for Nova Iguaçu were the last four emancipations :)

This is a gif I found for ilustraste what I mean :)

This will also help. A page of Wikipedia about Nova Iguaçu. You should have the Translate activated :)

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying! It's not often I see a city lose nearly a third of its population in a decade.
