Default Excel chart : I want to plot on the same chart bar and line

I'm having trouble with the custom bar and line chart.
I have an average and 3 sub groups for 3 years (X axis)
The average and sub groups can share one axis.
I want the average as a bar, the 3 subs as lines.
All I can get currently is 2 bars and 2 lines - I cannot make the first sub
group move from a bar to a liine presentation. How do I do this?
Thanks

It will help if you use the Excel terminology. If the bars are vertical,
it's a column chart.

Forget the built in custom types. Make a line chart with all of your data.
Select the series you want to change, go to Chart menu Chart Type, and
select a column type.

Voila, your first homemade combination chart!
