Long ago, there was a Chart Wizard in Excel, and it had some built-in Combination Chart Types, like Column-Line. The Chart Wizard disappeared in Excel 2007, along with the combo chart type options.
You could still create combo charts in Excel 2007 and 2010, but it wasn’t quite as obvious how to do that.
Combo Charts in Excel 2013
In Excel 2013, it’s easier to change a chart to a combo chart.
- Right-click on the chart, and click Change Chart Type
- At the left, select Combo as the category
- At the top, select one of the built-in combo types, or click the last option, to create a custom combo type.
- At the bottom, you can change the chart type for any series, and select which series to plot on a Secondary axis.
- Click OK when you’re finished, to see the completed chart on the worksheet.
