Mark -
Do you mean column (vertical) instead of bar (horizontal)? It's an
important distinction because a column uses the same category axis as
the line.
Anyway, if you avoid the built-in combination chart types, you have
complete control. Start with a column chart of all the data, then one by
one, select each series you want to change to a line, and use the Chart
Type command on the chart menu to change it. After changing one, you can
select the next and press the F4 key, the shortcut to repeat the last
action. Or start with a line chart of all the data, then one by one,
select each series you want to change to a column, and use the Chart
Type command on the chart menu to change it.
If you are trying to make a combination chart with a line series and a
horizontal bar series, with the line series using the vertical category
axis, you need to fake it with an XY Scatter series:
