Are dual-axis charts okay? Our head of communications @lisacmuth.bsky.social explains why she changed her mind, when it makes sense to use them, and weighs alternatives. 📊 📈 🚲️ www.datawrapper.de/blog/why-i-c...

A dual-axis chart titled "Number of all bikes sold in 2025 matched low 2017 levels, but revenue doubled thanks to pricey e-bikes" shows the change in revenue as a rising line vs. total bike sales as stacked columns

A grid of four line charts titled "Number of all bikes sold in 2025 matched low 2017 levels, but revenue doubled thanks to pricey e-bikes" shows that 1. total bike sales haven't changed much, 2. revenue went up, 3. fewer regular bikes were sold, but 4. sales of expensive e-bikes went up.

An indexed multiple-line chart titled "Number of all bikes sold in 2025 matched low 2017 levels, but revenue doubled thanks to pricey e-bikes" shows the relative changes in e-bike sales and revenue (increased), total bike sales (more or less unchanged), and regular bike sales (decreased) since 2017.

Next, dual-axis charts. They're great for showing metrics on very different scales — like customers in the thousands and customer satisfaction in %.

First, waterfall charts. They're are all about the journey, not the destination. How did we land at our 2025 profit? Why did the sales team end the year not bigger, despite five new hires? Waterfall charts plot all the ups and downs in sales, revenue, inventory, employees, and more.

🎉🎉🎉 Today we're launching not one but two (!) new chart types tailored for specific audiences: waterfall charts and dual-axis charts. They're available as part of our new Business plan. Let's have a closer look ⬇️
