Allow various combinations of combo chart. Example: Area and line chart. Bar and area. or two lines with different axis (pct and $). Similar to functionality in Excels combo charts.

Great suggestion Nick. We'd love to add more features to the combo chart in the future, so the more people vote on this the higher we will prioritize it. Thanks!

Check out the custom visual from xViz that supports 20+ configuration options - https://xviz.com/blogs/20-configuration-options-xviz-multi-axes-chart-power-bi/ . It is available in AppSource - https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA200000183?tab=Overview

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

would be great if we could even just select if the legend is applied to the column or the line in the combo.

We need to have the Dual axis , its very common use case, and all the leading Visual tools having that option.

It would be very helpful for analysis purpose. e.g. User can create are chart to highlight are between min and max value and show line for actual values. Allow to change line color with the help of conditional formatting. If value is outside of boundaries (area) can shown in any color. This scenario is also suitable if user have dataset of predictive model with threshold to highlight outliers. There are many other scenario's please add this feature as early as possible.

It would be really helpful if we can automate the visuals users are manually creating in their spreadsheets in PBI that look and feel exactly the same

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

Voted! It would also be great if the combo chart would allow horizontal versus vertical orientation.

RE: Optional Combo Chart Visuals

Agree - At least need the same capability of Excel now, which allows for a combo chart where the chart type can be set for each measure. For example, a stacked area, stacked bar and a line, all in one chart.
