Series configuration

Series configuration lets you override chart settings on a per-series basis. Access it from the Fields tab by expanding an individual series in the Y-axis section.

Mark type override

Each series can use a different mark type, independent of the global chart mark. This enables composite charts — for example, plotting one measure as a bar and another as a line on the same chart.

Available mark types per series:

• Bar
• Line
• Area
• Scatter (point)

To create a bar + line chart:

1. Add two measures to the Y axis.
2. Expand the second series in the Fields tab.
3. Set its mark type to Line.
4. Optionally assign it to the Right Y axis in the same panel (see Axes).

Series color

When no Color channel is assigned (single-color charts with no color-by dimension), each series has an individual color picker. Click the color swatch to open the picker and set a custom color for that series.

This setting has no effect when a Color channel is active — in that case, colors are managed by the palette in Color & stacking.

Y axis assignment

For charts with a dual Y axis, assign each series to either the Left or Right Y axis. This controls which axis scale the series uses.

See Axes for configuring the right axis title, labels, and scale.

Data labels per series

Enable data labels for an individual series without enabling them globally. Configure label position, font, and format independently for each series.

See Data labels for the full configuration reference.

Stacking override

On charts with multiple Y-axis series, you can set stacking behavior per-axis rather than globally. This lets you create grouped clusters where each cluster is internally stacked — expand the Y-axis settings for a specific series to access this option.
