I'm not sure what visualization app you're using, but there is usually a way to create a new metric series in the chart. If you're trying to show lines from both fields, you can have 1 series show created date and another show updated date.

If you want to share more information about which app you are using or a screenshot of what you have going on, I can give more specific guidance
