Earlier, we have discussed the Qlik Sense Gauge Chart<\/strong><\/a>. In this lesson, we will see Qlik Sense Combo Chart or the combo chart visualization available in Qlik Sense. Every visualization in Qlik Sense serves a unique purpose and is used to display data in a certain way. Here, you will learn what are combo charts, how to create them and how to manipulate them according to your need using the properties section.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let’s start Qlik Sense Combo Chart Tutorial.<\/p>\n

1. What is Qlik Sense Combo Chart?<\/h2>\n

A combo chart is a combination of more than one type of chart displayed within a single chart. In a combo chart, two measures can be displayed using a single dimension field common between the two. Using two sets of measure values together is otherwise a difficult task because the scales are different. But in a combo chart, there are two different axes each showing one measure set against a dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n

Refer to the combo chart shown below to understand the concept behind it better. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Qlik<\/a>

Combo Chart in Qlik Sense<\/p><\/div>\n

In this chart, there are two measure sets used, s<\/span>ales<\/span><\/i> and m<\/span>argin<\/span><\/i>. Both these measure sets are shown in different sides as the y-axis against the same dimension <\/span>YearMonth<\/span><\/i>. A combo chart makes plotting two measures with different scales (Million and % in this case) possible without any error or difficulty in displaying it. If you wish to add another measure, it will be added as one more set of bars either grouped or stacked. <\/span><\/p>\n
