FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a combo chart?
A combo chart (also called a mixed chart or combination chart) displays two or more series types — most commonly bars and lines — in the same chart area. It is ideal when you want to compare metrics that have different units or scales, such as revenue bars alongside a growth-rate line.
What is a mixed chart maker?
A mixed chart maker is an online tool that lets you create combination charts without spreadsheet software or coding. MakeCharts lets you add multiple series, choose bar, line, or area for each one, assign dual axes, and export a polished result in minutes.
Can I use two different Y-axes in my combo chart?
Yes. Every series in MakeCharts can be assigned to the left or right Y-axis independently. This is essential when your series have very different value ranges — for example, revenue in the millions on the left and a 0–100 % rate on the right.
How do I make a bar and line combo chart?
Add your categories and create at least two series in the configuration panel. Set one series type to 'Bar' and another to 'Line', then assign axes and colors. The live preview updates instantly. You can also describe what you want to the AI and it will configure the chart for you.
Is this mixed chart maker free?
Yes. All 50+ chart types, including the combo chart, are free to create, customize, and download without signing up. Free AI credits are also included so you can try AI-powered chart generation right away.
Can I mix bar, line, and area in the same chart?
Absolutely. Each series in your combo chart can independently be a bar, line, or area — you are not limited to just two types. This lets you layer, for example, a stacked area baseline with trend lines and highlighted bar events.
How do I use AI to create a combination chart?
Type a description of your data into the prompt field — something like 'monthly sales as bars with a profit margin line on the right axis' — and the AI will generate a ready-made combo chart. You can then refine colors, labels, and axis settings manually.
Can I embed the combo chart on my website?
Yes. Plus and higher plans include embed codes. Copy the snippet and paste it into any webpage or CMS to display a responsive, live combo chart directly on your site.
