# Quick start: Create an Amazon Quick Sight analysis with a single visual using sample data
<a name="quickstart-createanalysis"></a>

Before you create your first analysis, make sure to complete the steps in [Setting up and signing into Amazon Quick](setting-up.md). 

With the following procedure, you use the Web and Social Media Analytics sample dataset to create an analysis containing a line chart visual. This visual shows the count by month of people that have added themselves to the mailing list. 

**To create an analysis containing a line chart visual using a sample dataset**

1. From the Amazon Quick homepage, from Amazon Quick Sight, choose **Analyses** from the left navigation menu. If you don't have sample data, you can download it from [web-and-social-analytics.csv.zip](samples/web-and-social-analytics.csv.zip). Unzip the file so you can use the .csv file.

   To upload the sample data, do the following:

   1. Choose **Data** from the left navigation menu. Under the **Dataset** tab, select **New** then **Dataset**.

   1. Choose **Upload file**.

   1. Choose the sample file, `web-and-social-analytics.csv`, from your drive. If you don't see it, check that you unzipped the `web-and-social-analytics.csv.zip` file.

   1. Confirm file upload settings by choosing **Next** on the **Confirm file upload settings** screen.

   1. Choose **Visualize** on the **Data source details** screen.

   1. Skip the next step. Choosing **Visualize** brings you to the same screen as the process in Step 2.

1. On the **Datasets** page, choose the **Web and Social Media Analytics** dataset, and then choose **Use in Analysis** at upper right.

1. In the **Data** pane, choose **Date**, and then choose **Mailing list adds**. 

   Amazon Quick Sight uses AutoGraph to create the visual, selecting the visual type that it determines is most compatible with those fields. In this case, it selects a line chart that shows mailing list adds by day, which is the date granularity default.

1. Navigate to the **Field wells** at the bottom of the **Visuals** pane.

1. Choose the **X axis** field well. Select the three-dot menu, choose **Aggregate**, and then choose **Month**.

   The line chart updates to show mailing list adds by month, rather than by the default of by year.
