Line and column

Use a line and column visualization to show the relationship between two data sets by combining bars and lines in one visualization.

A line and column visualization presents the relationship between two data sets. By using a combination of different visualizations, each data set is better distinguished and you can combine data sets that vary widely in range.

The following image shows an example of a line and column visualization.
