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.

Great suggestion Nick. We'd love to add more features to the combo chart in the future, so the more people vote on this the higher we will prioritize it. Thanks!

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

Area / Line / Combination graph would be super helpful.

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

In 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.

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

was really expecting to find a way to do column, area combo chart. It's a little disappointing that it isn't an existing feature.

Yes will be nice also to add the 100% area stacked Chart, similar to Excel.

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

It would be great if difference charts showing the difference from the average in a bar chart were available in Power BI.

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

Could 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!

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

Area / 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

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

This 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.

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

Seriously, 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...
