So-called "combination" charts in Excel are a bit of a racket. They act
like they're offering you something special or difficult, but really,
every single series is individually customizable, within certain limits.

In fact, the built-in combination charts are less flexible and predictable
than a combination chart you make yourself. Suppose you make a built in
combo with 2 lines and 2 columns, then you want to add 2 lines. Excel will
helpfully make the chart into a 3 line-3 column combo. If you create it
yourself from a 4 line series, and change two to columns, then Excel will
not be compelled to change what you've already done.

That's terrible, I had no idea they did that. But that's because I never
touch the things.
