Line and Stacked Column Chart: How to put line behind columns

Hi, 

I am using the line and stacked column chart in power bi. is there any way i can have my lines behind my columns? 

I read that I can create two separate charts (line chart and bar chart), make one of the chart background transparent, and then put one chart above the other.

But this workaround solution is quite risky. 

Is there any other solutions?

 

Example:

Hi @junmin 
We don't have this functionality on the same graph, I think that the only alternative is to combine the graphs as you did...

Or if the background data is static create it as an image on PowerPoint an use it as a background
