Combining Chart Types


Use the options on the Data Configuration tab of the Chart Types dialog box to create a single chart that combines multiple chart types. You can combine bar, line, and area charts only.

The Data Configuration tab lists the dimensions that appear in the chart legend. If you change which dimensions are on the legend using options in the chart Axes Placement tab, click Apply to have the correct legend dimension members appear in the Data Configuration tab.

To combine chart types:

  1. In the Chart Types and Configuration dialog box, click the Data Configuration tab.
    All dimension members currently on the chart legend appear in the list. All members originally show Default as the chart type.
    If you need to change the axes placement, click the Axes Placement tab and adjust the placement.
  2. Click the drop down list next to the member name to select a chart type for that dimension member.
    Repeat for each member in the list.
  3. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and implement the changes. Click Apply to implement the changes without closing the dialog box.

NoteIf there are more than 28 dimension members on the chart legend, only the first 28 will appear in the Combo Types tab. Use the Axes Placement tab to adjust which members are on the legend.
