Combination Charts

Combination charts are views that use multiple mark types in the same sheet. For example, you may
show sales per state as bars with a line across the bars showing average profit per state. You can also
use combination charts to show multiple levels of detail in the same view. For example, you can have a
line chart with individual lines showing average sales for over time for each customer segment. Then you
can have another line that shows the combined average across all customer segments.
