When you analyze your data, you have different ways of making selections. In a combo chart, you can use: click selection, draw selection, lasso selection, range selection, label selection, or legend selection. To confirm a selection, click or outside the visualization. You can also press Enter. To cancel, click or press Esc.
Click selection
You can select bars or data points on lines by clicking them, one at a time. To deselect a bar or data point, click it.
Draw selection
You can draw one or more lines in the chart to select bars and data points on lines. All bars and data points that are touched by a line are selected, all other bars and data points are dimmed. To deselect a bar or data point, click it.
When you want to make a draw or lasso selection, you must first click inside the visualization and turn on lasso selection by clicking at the top of the visualization. On a computer you can also press Shift and make the selection.
Lasso selection
In lasso selection, you can draw a lasso freehand to enclose an area. You must close the area properly by returning to the starting point of your selection.

Range selection
In range selection, you can make selections either on the x-axis or the y-axis, one at a time. Select a starting point along the axis, just outside the chart area, and drag to make a selection. As soon as you start dragging, a starting point line is displayed, as well as an end point line that shows the selection. You can adjust your selection by dragging the lines, the value boxes, or the green selection area.
Label selection
You can click the dimension labels to make selections. When dimensions are grouped or stacked, the whole group or stack is selected.
Legend selection
There are two legend types: box legend, with one legend item per dimension value, and range legend, with a gradient scale, where all measure values are represented. In the box legend, you select and deselect the items one at a time by clicking them. In the range legend, you drag from a starting point to an end point to enclose an area. You cannot deselect a certain item, but you can change the range.
When you have a combo chart with one dimension and two measures (either grouped or stacked),selections cannot be made.
