Switching between bars and line series

Similarly to the Color by functionality in other visualizations, Series by in the combination chart is a way to split the data into slices. In the combination chart, the slices, called series, can be defined as bars or lines and they can be colored separately. That is, each series in the combination chart will be represented by a line or a set of bars in the visualization. You can switch between these two representations.

Procedure

  1. In the visualization properties locate the Series section.
  2. Make sure the column you want to split by is selected under Series by.
    Tip: You can also click to open the Data in analysis flyout, drag the column you want to split by series to the center of the visualization and drop it on the Color target.
  3. Beneath Series, click the symbol for the series you want to change.
  4. On top of the opened palette, select the display option; Show as bars or Show as lines. Here you can also select the color of the series.
    Note: You can also switch between bars and lines from the legend. Beneath Series by, click the symbol for the series you want to change. In the opened palette, select the display option; Show as bars or Show as lines.
