There are situations when you would want to plot two different metrics over time. Say how your sales have trended against your website traffic or, leads got. Until now, the options in Zoho Analytics was to have a multi-bar or multi-line chart. Now, you get the best of both worlds with the Combo Chart (also known as Combination Chart or Bar-Line Overlay Chart). One of the metrics can be plotted as bar and the other can be plotted as line, as in the example below.
The other new chart type that’s been added is the Smooth Line Chart (also known as Spline Chart). This chart comes in handy when you want the data plotted to look continuous or when there is some data interpolation involved. Instead of the data points being connected by straight lines, a smoothened curve results.
What scenarios will you be using the above two chart types? Do leave your comments.
