Default Can a combo chart plot 4 variables? (3 bars,1 line)

I am trying to create a combination chart. I would like it to show chart
three data elements in individual columns and 1 data element as a line. I
can only seem to get it to plot 2 columns & 1 line.. Are there limitations to
a combo chart? Or am I over looking something? Please help!!

Hi,

Rather than use the built-in combination chart types simple create your own.
Start be creating a bar chart with all 4 series. The select the series
you want to plot as a line and via the menu Chart Chart Type... change
the column chart to a line chart.

Cheers
Andy
