Combo Charts
Combo charts let you visualize two related datasets in a single chart using different chart types, like column and line. They’re ideal for comparing metrics with different scales.
Column + line
Chart Setup
To build a column + line chart:
Axis
- Drag the dimension to plot on the x-axis (e.g., Sub-Category).
Values parameter
- Drag multiple measures to compare (e.g., Sales, Profit)
Chart type
- Select the Column + line option from the Combo charts section of the Chart Type dropdown menu.
Use combo charts to compare different types of data with different value ranges. E.g., Sales in dollars and the quantity in units.
Column + column

Values parameter - 2024 Plan, 2024 Actuals, 2023 Actuals, 2022 Actuals,
Chart type - Column + column

Multi axis chart

Chart type - Multiple axis chart
Description - To visualize measures with mixed scaling, Analytics+ gives you the flexibility to render a dedicated y-axis for each measure.

The y-axis and charts have focused settings for each measure.
