Uses and benefits of Line and Stacked column charts

• Quicker comparison of data on 2 measure
• We use it when we have a Line and column chart on the same x-axis.
• We use it whenever we need to correlate and compare two (or more measures) with different value ranges or scales.
• We use it to save space and do easy comparisons with multiple measures.

Sometimes while dealing with hierarchical data we need to combine two or more various chart types into a single chart for better visualization and analysis. These are known as “Combination charts”.

In this article, we are going to see how to combine a stacked column chart and a line chart in Power BI. We will also look into Bubble and Waterfall charts. In these types of combination charts, multiple variables are handled. The combination charts are implemented for better visualizations and detailed analysis.

Stacked Column-Line charts show more than two metric values aggregated across a group dimension. They are mostly used for showing 2 quantities alongside with respect to changes over time. The first Y-axis displays as a column, and the second as a line.
