# Combo chart (chart type)

* A **Combo Chart** is a hybrid visualization that combines two types of charts, typically a **Bar Chart** and a **Line Chart**, to display data with two different types of measures on the same axis. This allows for a more comprehensive comparison of datasets that are related but may have different value ranges or types.
