Combined chart
From Planfix
A Combined Chart in Planfix reports allows you to combine two different types of charts into a single visualization:
- Bar chart – Displays data as vertical columns of varying heights to show quantitative values.
- Line chart – Connects data points with a line to visualize trends over time.
This chart type is useful for comparing different metrics, even those measured in different units, within a single report. For example, you can display the number of tasks completed by employees in a month alongside the time spent on those tasks based on data tags:
The chart is built using report data and consists of four main components:
- X-axis (horizontal) – Shows categories such as employees, projects or days of the week.
- Y-axis (vertical) – Displays numeric values such as the number of completed tasks, hours worked, or sales volume.
- Bars – Represent one metric (e.g., the total number of completed tasks).
- Line – This represents another key figure (e.g., the total time logged, as specified in the data tags).
To display the appropriate data, use group and sort features.
