A combination chart, also known as a combo chart, is a type of chart that combines two or more chart types in a single visualization. This allows you to display multiple types of data in a single chart, making it easier to understand and compare different data sets.
For example, you might use a combination chart to display both a line chart and a bar chart in the same visualization. The line chart could show a trend over time, while the bar chart could show the actual values for each point in time. This allows you to see both the overall trend and the specific values at a glance.
