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.
