Combined chart

A combined chart displays multiple data visualizations within the same coordinate space.

Unlike the split function, this chart can combine different data fields in a single visualization, thus allowing you to compare multiple data streams within a single chart.

You can combine a line chart, a stacked area chart, and a column chart within the same visualization.

combined_chart

For example, you can use this chart type to visualize trends influenced by multiple parameters, like the influence of the number of guests and bookings on the average price.

AI-Insights not supported

This chart type doesn't support the AI-Insights feature.

Usage hints

Open the All workbooks overview page and select your workbook.
Click Create → Wizard chart. You'll see the chart creation wizard.
On the top left, select the Dataset you want to visualize.
Click the chart type field on the right of the dataset section and select Combined chart from the drop-down menu.
Drag and drop the measure or dimension to the X section. It'll apply to all the layers in your chart.
Select the chart type you want to apply to the first layer. You can choose a line chart, a stacked area chart, or a column chart.
To add more layers, click + on the right of the layer selection field.

You can drag and drop the layers in the drop-down menu to rearrange them - the higher layer will overlay the lower one.
Drag and drop Measures and Dimensions to the appropriate sections of the layer.

Your chart creation wizard should look similar to the following:
Click Save in the upper-right corner of the page.
Name your chart and click Done.
Choose the appropriate location for your chart by dragging it around the dashboard and resize it by dragging the lower-right corner of its frame.
Click Save in the upper-right corner of the page.

Wizard slot	Description
X	Dimension. It applies to all the layers in the chart.
Layers	Add and rearrange layers, select chart types for each layer.

Other slots depend on the chart type selected for the layer:

To open data type settings, click the field type icon before the field name:

for Integer type fields:

Name	Description	Possible values
Name	Sets the name of the measure	A string of characters.
Type (Before aggregation)	Sets the field's data type.	`Integer`, `Fractional number`, `String`, `Logical`, `Date`, `Date and time`
Aggregation	Applies a selected aggregation function to the data field.	No: doesn't apply aggregation. Count: applies the COUNT function, returns the total number of entries. Sum: applies the SUM function, returns the sum of all the field's values. Average: applies the AVG function, returns the arithmetic mean value. Minimum: applies the MIN function, returns the minimum value. Maximum: applies the MAX function, returns the maximum value. Count distinct: applies the COUNTD function to the data field and returns the number of unique values in the field.
Label	Displays labels with values on the chart.	`Show`, `Hide`
Format	Sets the value display format	Number: display the values as plain numbers. Percent: show the values as a percentage.
Show delimiter	Toggles the separation of groups of thousands.	Show: display spaces between groups of thousands. Hide: hide spaces between groups of thousands.
Prefix	Sets a text to display before the value	A string of characters.
Postfix	Sets a text to display after the value.	A string of characters.
Units	Sets a rounding scale to apply to the field's values.	`Null`: don't apply rounding. `Auto`: select and apply a rounding scale automatically. `Thousands, K`: round to thousands, display `000` as `K`. `Millions, M`: round to millions, display `000 000` as `M`. `Billions, B`: round to billions, display `000 000 000` as `B`. `Trillions, T`: round to trillions, display `000 000 000 000` as `T`.

for String type fields:

Name	Description	Possible values
Name	Sets the name of the dimension	A string of characters.
Type	Sets the field's data type.	`Integer`, `Fractional number`, `String`, `Logical`, `Date`, `Date and time`
Aggregation	Sets the aggregation type	No: doesn't apply aggregation. Count: applies the COUNT function to the data field and shows the number total number of entries. Count distinct: applies the COUNTD function to the data field and returns the number of unique values in the field.

for Date type fields:

Name	Description	Possible values
Name	Sets the name of the dimension	A string of characters.
Type	Sets the field's data type.	`Integer`, `Fractional number`, `String`, `Logical`, `Date`, `Date and time`
Grouping	Sets the grouping and rounding by time period.	No - doesn't apply grouping. Rounding - rounds the values by `Year`, `Quarter`, `Month`, `Week` or `Day`. Date part - returns the number of a time period: `Year`, `Quarter`, `Month`, `Week`, `Day of week`, or `Day`.
Date mode	Toggles the date display mode.	Continuous - display all the dates continuously. Discrete - show the dates containing values.
Aggregation	Applies a selected aggregation function to the data field.	No: doesn't apply aggregation. Count: applies the COUNT function, returns the total number of entries. Minimum: applies the MIN function, returns the minimum value. Maximum: applies the MAX function, returns the maximum value. Count distinct: applies the COUNTD function to the data field and returns the number of unique values in the field. Average: applies the AVG function, returns the arithmetic mean value.

for Geodata type fields:

Name	Description	Possible values
Name	Sets the name of the data field	A string of characters.
Type	Sets the field's data type.	`Integer`, `Fractional number`, `String`, `Logical`, `Date`, `Date and time`, `Geopoint`, `Geopolygon`
Aggregation	Sets the aggregation type	No: doesn't apply aggregation. Count: applies the COUNT function to the data field and shows the total number of entries.
Column fill color	Fills the cells with different colors from a gradient depending on the value.	`On`: apply the color fill. `Off`: remove color fill.

To open chart settings, click to the right of the chart type above the wizard slot fields. You'll see a dialog window with the following controls:

Control	Default state	Description
Header	`Off`	Displays the specified text in the centered line above the chart.
Legend	`On`	Displays the field name associated with colors of the charts on the layers below the chart.

After managing the controls, click Apply to see the results on the chart preview.

To open slot settings, click in a row with the slot name.

Setting	Description	Possible values
Axis title	Sets an axis label.	Auto: Uses a field name. If the section contains several fields, Visualization uses the name of the field added to the list first. Manual: Allows you to enter an axis title manually. `Off`: Axis will have no label.
Axis type	Sets the axis type. The setting is available for fields in the axis section that have the Fractional number type.	Linear: Sets a linear axis type. Logarithmic: Sets a logarithmic axis type, preferable for charts with a wide range of values. A logarithmic axis allows you to display a fast-growing graph in a convenient form for analysis, reducing values by order of magnitude.
Grid	Displays a grid on the chart.	`On`: Displays the grid. `Off`: Hides the grid.
Grid step	Sets the grid spacing in pixels.	Auto: Sets the grid size automatically. Manual: Allows you to set the grid size in pixels.
Labels	Displays data field labels on the chart.	`On`: Displays labels. `Off`: Hides labels
Labels view	Sets the appearance of the label display. The setting is available if the Labels setting is set to `On`.	Auto: Positions label values automatically. Horizontal: Positions label values horizontally. Vertical: Positions label values vertically. Angle: Displays label values at a 45-degree angle.
Empty values (null)	Specifies how to process empty values. Not supported by Scatter chart.	Ignore: Doesn't display empty values in a chart. Connect: Joins values of fields that have empty values between them. Display as 0: Displays empty values in charts as zero (0) field values.
Scaling	Sets the scale of chart axes.	Auto: Sets the scale automatically. You can specify how Visualization sets the scale: from the minimum to the maximum field values (Autoscale from min to max) or from 0 to the maximum field value (Autoscale from 0 to max). Manually: Allows you to set the axis scale manually. You can set the maximum and minimum values along the axis. Visualization trims the chart lines by this value.

Other slot settings depend on the chart type selected for the layer:

When visualizing multiple measures, consider which colors you select for them. For better readability, choose contrasting and easy-to-distinguish colors.
When visualizing multiple measures, consider which of them needs the most attention. For better readability, put the most important measure at the bottom of the fields list and the measure against which you want to compare it - at the top.
