The trend with seven categories gets a line chart with seven indistinguishable lines. Each is technically a chart and operationally useless. The right type follows from the question: single value gets a big number, trend gets a line, comparison gets a bar, distribution gets a histogram or violin, sequential conversion gets a funnel."
