Can not switch data/visualisation for combine chart

[AlexBrandt]

I working on some a few combined charts where I’m combining two questions in one chart and using the same time series. One question has a monthly sum aggregation. The other has a cumulative.

I want to render the cumulative as the line and the monthly sum as the bars. Yet I can not manage to swap those visualization to datasource.

For context, I had this working well before the release of Metabase v55. When we deployed v55 (we are self hosted) it messed some charts up as some combined questions where no longer compatible to be combined together. Now trying to fix those visualisations.

To change the visualization type for a series in the visualization editor:

1. Click Settings to open the right-hand sidebar.
2. Click the disclosure triangle next to the series you want to change (the tooltip is More Options).
3. Under Display Type (the first one), and select the render type you want – line, area, or bar.

Hello @dwhitemv

Thanks for the input. I think we are not talking about the exact same thing.

On my two individual metabase questions, the visualisation is already correct and set how I wanted it to be (see screenshots below):

• Line for the cumulative value
• Bars for the sum values

Yet, when combine those two questions together in one dashboard card, suddenly the visualisation are switched. Cumulative is represented as bars and sum is represented as line.

When I got to edit the visualisation of the card, I don’t have any disclosure triangle next to the series.
What I have is this

And this

For info, we are on version 0.55.7.

Hey,
I just found where it is.

Under settings

and then at the bottom, the series are visible there, colours can be changed as well as visualization type.

Thank you

Glad you got it figured out

I updated my post to clarify where the Settings button is. Hopefully that’ll help others in the future.
