Complex graph in Dashboard creation in WEB

Complex graph like ‘combination: Dual Axis – Bar – line’ graph cannot be created in Dashboard in WEB.

To achieve the same, create a report in desktop and make as above mentioned graph and save.

In WEB, while creating dashboard, add this data set in dashboard by ‘right click’ data set and add with formatting option. Now the graph which cannot be done in web, can be done in this way.
