Does combo chart have group by color function by specific field (type)?
Like

Line Chart: the line will perfectly split into multiple lines of different colors, with each line representing a distinct Type.

Bar Chart: The original single bar will also automatically transform into a Stacked Bar chart using different colored blocks to represent for each Type.
like what we have in tableau

Hi @emily02,

No. You can't. Combo charts in AI/BI Dashboards do not support Tableau-style grouping by a categorical field such as Type. That means a combo chart can combine bar and line series and colour by metric series, but it will not automatically split a single line into multiple colored lines by Type, or turn a single bar series into stacked or grouped bars by Type within that same combo chart.

For reference, the public documentation for AI/BI dashboard visualization types shows combo charts as a combination of bar and line series, with the example using Color by Y-Series rather than colour by a categorical field. The broader chart options documentation also notes that not every configuration option is available for every chart type, even though group by is generally available for many charts.

If you need this pattern, the usual workaround is to reshape the data in SQL so each type becomes its own series, or to use a custom visualization with Vega-Lite when you need more Tableau-like layering and control.

Hope this helps.
