The following settings are available:

Series Type. Select data series type in the list: bar, line or area. The setting is not available for pie charts, doughnut charts and bar charts. The series display type is selected only within a single chart subtype. For example, the data series of a stacked histogram can be transformed to a stacked line or a stacked area. The image below shows a mixed chart. One of the chart's series is displayed as a line:
