How to combine bar and line graph excel series#

The reason behind this is in those four months the temperature is 16, 14, 15, and 12, respectively. Especially in the months Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb, the sales of Jackets increased at a good rate. It is clear that as the temperature decreases, the sales of jackets increases. Since we have selected the Temperature chart type as a secondary axis, it has created a new vertical axis. of Jackets Sold and other one is Temperature data.

If you notice, we have Vertical axis labels here. Step 6:Р’В We have our combination chart ready. Step 5: Under Combo, change the Avg Temperature chart type to the Line chart and also make this a secondary axisР’В and thenР’В Click on Ok to complete the process.

To select the column bar, right-click and select Change Series Chart Type. Now donРІР‚в„ўt know where the temperature bar is. of Jackets sold and Average Temperature are data plotted as a clustered chart only. Step 3: Now, your chart should like this. Step 2: Select the data and insert a new column chart. Step 1: The datasetР’В should look like this. We need to plot a graph, see when are the highest sales happened and find the reasons. In this example, I will show you the sale of leather jackets in the last 12 months with the temperate data.Р”Вata includes the sales of leather jackets against the average temperature data for the last 12 months. In the previous example, we have seen the combination of sales, COGS, and profit margin. In the year 2013, COGS is more and profit comes down drastically.

From the year 2013 to 2016, revenue is constant, but profit fluctuated due to variance in COGS.

In terms of profit margin, the year 2008 has given a profit percentage of 66.50%, which highest in terms of percentage.

It has reached its peak sale in the year 2012, i.e.

Sales have fluctuated throughout the last 10 years.

Below are some of the important observations of the above chart.

Now you must be thinking about what the use of the combination chart is. I have changed according to my preferences, and combo charts looking like this in Excel. You can change the line color and column bar colors according to your wish.

Step 11: It will give us the below combination chart. Step 10: In the same window, change the chart type of both COGS & Profit to Line chart as shown in the below image. (Excel must have selected this option by default). Step 9: Now, you will see the Change Chart Type dialogue box. Right-click and select Change Series Chart Type. Step 7: Now, your chart should look like this. Step 6: Select the Year list here.Р’В Click on OKР’В to complete the process. Step 5: Now click on EDIT on the right-hand side, i.e. Step 4: Firstly, remove YearР’В from the below window. Step 3: Right-click on the chart and select Select Data. Profit-help: from the second data has a simple formula: the original Profit multiplied by 2, minus the data above.Step 2: Now, your chart should look like this.Growth-help: from the second data is equal to the original growth data (this is the x values of the series).The very-first data (yellow cells) starts with a fixed 0. This additional data point could be a fixed value or you could use the first data of your original table. Obviously we need one data point more than the original series. The formula behind this dummy series column now goes without saying. In other words, you will need a help column, where the average of the first two data is equal to the January Proft (-2%), the average of the second and third data is equal to the February Profit (5%), etc. Only need to reverse the calculation logic of 2 period moving average: now the first data and the moving average (=the original data) is given, and need to calculate the second data. The idea is to create a dummy data series which determines a trendline which equals to the connecting line of the original data points. The average of the second and third data points is used as the second point in the trendline, etc.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљFor example, if Period is set to 2, the average of the first two data points is used as the first point in the moving average trendline. We started to think about moving average trendline, because this is very simple to calculate based on the Period - as you can read on MS office site: Our out-of-the-box idea is to use trendline. Well, itРІР‚в„ўs a fact that bubble chart can not be combined with any other charts, so the usual РІР‚Сљchange series chart typeРІР‚Сњ way will not work.
