Bar and line combo charts combine bar series and line series in one chart. This is useful when related metrics have different meanings or scales.
Common examples
- Revenue as bars and conversion rate as a line
- Signups as bars and activation rate as a line
- Tickets as bars and average response time as a line
- Sales as bars and target as a line
How it works
Start with a bar chart, then set one or more chart series to render as lines. Line style settings become available when the chart contains line series.

- Use bars for counts, totals, or volume.
- Use lines for rates, averages, goals, or trends.
- Label axes clearly when metrics use different units.
