## Overview


| **Type** | **Icon** | **When to Use** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Combination Charts** | ![image](media://333a69ef-7a39-4c79-beb6-9ba66d798e58) | Combination charts, in effect, superimpose one chart type above or below another. Use to improve clarity and highlight relationships between data sets. |
| **Overlay Chart** | ![image](media://8f4a2c10-e1dc-4668-8ffc-02b345c2837f) | Use the line chart to emphasize a trend and bars to emphasize specific values. Line/Bar combinations may work better by de-emphasizing bars through the use of subtle colours. |

 

### Chart Data Options

| **Option** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Horizontal Axis | This is the category label for the X axis |
| Vertical Axis | Typically a numeric value such as $. An item that you want to measure on your Chart |
| Colour | This option is only available if you have a cross tab data set available and is used to determine the colour applied for cross tab series data. |
