What This Template Offers

A ready-to-use combo chart that layers monthly revenue and expense bars alongside a profit margin line — all on a dual-axis layout that makes comparisons effortless.

Use cases

Perfect Use Cases

Monthly Financial Reporting

Present revenue versus expenses alongside the resulting profit margin in a single chart for board decks or management reports. Stakeholders instantly see both scale and efficiency.

Sales Performance Dashboards

Track sales volume as bars while a line monitors conversion rate or average deal size. Spot the months where volume spiked but margin dropped — or vice versa.

Budget vs. Actuals Review

Plot budgeted and actual spend as grouped bars, then overlay a variance percentage line so finance teams can identify over- and under-spend at a glance.

Marketing ROI Analysis

Show campaign spend and attributed revenue as bars with a line tracking return on ad spend (ROAS), making it easy to justify or reallocate marketing budgets.

How to Customize

Replace the data

Click any cell in the data table to type your own category labels and values, or paste directly from a spreadsheet. Add or remove months, quarters, or categories as needed.

Adjust series and axes

Use the Series Settings panel to switch any series between Bar, Line, or Area types, reassign it to the left or right Y-axis, and pick brand-matching colors with the color picker.

Refine display settings

Tune bar size, gap, line width, dot size, and curve type in General Settings. Toggle the right axis label, grid lines, legend position, and tooltips in Display and Axis Settings.

Key Benefits

  • Saves setup time — dual-axis configuration is pre-built and ready to use
  • Tells a richer story by combining volume (bars) and rate (line) in one view
  • Reduces chart clutter — no need for separate charts for related metrics
  • Professionally styled with balanced colors that differentiate series clearly

Pro Tips

  • Assign percentage or rate metrics to the right axis and absolute values to the left to prevent scale distortion between series.
  • Use the 'Smooth' curve type for trend lines to de-emphasize minor fluctuations and highlight overall direction.
  • Limit combo charts to 2-3 series — adding more series quickly overwhelms viewers and obscures the key insight.
