This chapter is where the Summit Gear dashboard starts taking shape. You'll build four charts that form the core of the report: a bar chart showing revenue by product category, a column chart tracking monthly revenue, a line chart comparing this year's sales to the prior year, and a combo chart overlaying monthly bars with a year-to-date cumulative line.



You add a combo chart with `Total Sales` on the `Column` y-axis and `Sales YTD` on the `Line` y-axis. What does each series show?
