Allow various combinations of combo chart. Example: Area and line chart. Bar and area. or two lines with different axis (pct and $). Similar to functionality in Excels combo charts.

- warrencowanKudo CollectorGreat suggestion. I'm coming particularly unstuck on the dual axis issue. Even when I am presenting 2 series which are on the same number fomat I'm having difficulty. eg clicks and sales. Both normal numerical measures, but with such huge disparity between the volume of each measure, the graph is impossible to read. I've got 10,000 clicks, and 12 sales, so my sales line looks like a flat line running along the bottom of the chart
- amshaNew MemberSeriously, This is a basic functionality that all BI tools are offering today in marketplace. Will we really have to struggle through collecting votes and then devoting developers to get this basic function built? I hope not...
- EDWNew MemberThis has been almost year since suggested to have combi-charts in Power BI. I agree that other BI tools including Excel 2013 has these. Another example - a doughnut and pie with secondary axis to replicate speedometer.
- patrick_boothNew MemberArea / Line / Bar Combination charts similar to those available and configurable in excel instead of the current line / column would be a fantastic addition until the ability to export from power bi back to excel is made available
- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberCould have a chart with two or more lines and just one bar or have available all combine charts like in Excel, it could be great!
- kurtbrischkeNew MemberIt would be great if difference charts showing the difference from the average in a bar chart were available in Power BI.
- karchua922New Member"This-very-basic-functionality" should be there. Thanks !
- george_mena_sNew MemberYes will be nice also to add the 100% area stacked Chart, similar to Excel.
- lord_kahnNew Memberwas really expecting to find a way to do column, area combo chart. It's a little disappointing that it isn't an existing feature.
- michellesueMicrosoft EmployeeIn Excel, we allow combo chart to use horizontal stacked bars with line instead of only vertical stacked columns with line. It is currently not possible to do in power BI. The Bullet Chart only allow four color blocks and no more, and it starts with zero and not allow negative minimum. Please bring Combo Chart in Excel into Power BI. I can send an email example if interested.
