Understanding Combo Charts

What is a combo chart?+

A combo chart (also called a combination chart or mixed chart) combines multiple chart types in a single visualization. This powerful tool lets you display columns for discrete values, areas for cumulative data, and lines for trends all on the same chart. It is the ultimate way to tell a complete data story when you have three different but related metrics to compare.

When should I use a combo chart?+

Use combo charts when you need to visualize three related metrics with different characteristics. For example: comparing three teams where one performs consistently (columns), another has growth phases (area), and the third shows a general trend (line). Other examples include marketing campaigns showing ad spend, impressions, and conversion rates, or operations data showing production volume, inventory levels, and efficiency percentage.

How do I choose which metric gets which chart type?+

Use columns for discrete, countable values that are best compared side-by-side. Use areas for data that represents volume, cumulative totals, or ranges over time. Use lines for trends, rates, or percentages that flow continuously. The choice depends on what story each metric tells. For example, sales units work well as columns, revenue as area, and profit margin as a line.

Can I customize the appearance of each series?+

Yes. Each series has its own color picker and name field. For the area series, you can also adjust the fill opacity to make it more or less transparent, helping to balance the visual weight of all three series. The Style and Advanced tabs offer additional customization for backgrounds, text colors, animations, grid visibility, and tooltip themes.

Is my data secure on this tool?+

Absolutely. All chart generation is performed entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server, and we have no way to access, view, or store it. Whether you are working with confidential business metrics, team performance data, or financial information, everything stays completely private on your device.
