What is a stacked column and line chart?
A stacked column and line chart is a combination of a Line Chart and a vertical Stacked Bar chart. A stacked column and line chart is similar to a Grouped Bar with Line Chart—the only difference is that in a standard Grouped Bar with Line chart, each series gets its own bar, and bars are grouped side by side in their respective categories, whereas in a stacked column and line chart, series in a category are stacked on top of each other.
