Combination Chart
A combination chart displays two or more chart types—such as bars and lines—together in a single view, making it easier to compare different value ranges or highlight multiple measures at once.
Use a combination chart when you need to analyze related metrics with different value scales or units on the same chart.
Example use cases
example
- Revenue and profit margin: Show revenue as a column and overlay profit margin as a line to visualize financial performance and trends together.
- Production volume and defect rate: Display output as bars and overlay defect rate as a line to compare quality and quantity.
