How can SSRS 2005 represent two chart types (i.e., bar and line) on the same chart?
I am trying to create a graph that looks like the professionally crafted image below:
The chart would have one series represented as bar graphs and then two other series represented as overlapping line graphs.
I have the line graphs working as two independent series and I can write my SQL query to return empty values for the months of the bar graph series and empty values for the years on the two line series to prevent overlapping, but I don't see how to specify a chart type per series.
Realistically, can this be done using SSRS? Or simulated visually?

Click anywhere in the chart you want to change to a combo chart to show the CHART TOOLS. Click DESIGN > Change Chart Type. On the All Charts tab, choose Combo, and then pick the Clustered Column - Line on Secondary Axis chart.
By definition, Combo Charts are a combination of two or more chart types. You can combine multiple column charts, a line graph and a bar graph, two line graphs, etc.
Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. . . .
The Mixed chart type allows you to use different display styles in a single chart, including new types and combinations such as Area, Line/Bar, Stacked Area and Percent Stacked charts.
Select the Chart, make sure it is highlighted and the Chart Data box appears to the right of the graph, both of your series should be listed inside the "Values" section. Click the drop down arrow to the right of your Series' value, use the 'Change Chart type' option from here (per series). This will affect only the series you clicked the drop down for :)
