Understanding Line & Column Charts
What is a line and column chart?+
A line and column chart (also known as a combo chart) combines two different chart types in one visualization. The columns (bars) typically represent absolute values like sales figures or quantities, while the line shows trends, percentages, or rates over time. This powerful combination lets you tell a richer story with your data by showing both magnitude and change simultaneously.
When should I use a line and column chart?+
Use this chart when you need to compare two related but different types of data. Perfect examples include: revenue (columns) vs profit margin percentage (line), website traffic (columns) vs conversion rate (line), or production volume (columns) vs efficiency percentage (line). The dual-axis design accommodates different scales, making it ideal when your metrics have vastly different ranges.
How do I read a chart with two Y-axes?+
The left Y-axis corresponds to the columns, and the right Y-axis corresponds to the line. Each data series uses its own scale, which is why you can compare metrics with different units or ranges. Pay attention to the legend at the bottom to identify which series is which. The color coding helps you quickly match data points to their respective axes.
Can I customize the colors and styling?+
Absolutely. You can customize the color of both the columns and the line to match your brand or presentation theme. The Style tab lets you change the background color, text color, and other visual elements. The Advanced tab offers options for grid visibility, animations, and tooltip themes to create the perfect look for your data story.
Is my data secure?+
Yes, completely. All chart generation happens directly in your browser. We never upload your data to any server, and we have no access to the numbers you enter. Whether you are working with sensitive business metrics or personal data, your information stays on your device at all times.
