Limitations When Converting Legacy Charts

When you convert a legacy chart to the current default chart, some chart types or chart properties might not be migrated properly. For example, clustered area charts and 100% stacked line charts are not available in the current default charts. If your exact chart configuration is not available, select the closest matching template.

The following legacy chart properties are not migrated to the current default charts:

The following table outlines some behavior differences between legacy charts and the current default charts.

Legacy Charts Current Default Charts

Combination charts are always ordered from back to front - area, bar, and line.

Combination charts support any order.

In bar charts, multiple bar definitions for the Y1-axis are placed side-by-side.

In bar charts, multiple bars are placed on top of one another and you can control the width of the bars.

In combination charts, the color palette is continued over multiple bars, lines, and areas.

In combination charts, color palettes are restarted for each bar, line, and area.

The legend order respects the order in which bars, lines, and areas are specified. For example, bars can appear before areas in the legend.

The legend order is the same as the order specified in the chart.

The following chart types continue to use the legacy chart technology and therefore cannot be upgraded to the current default chart technology. If you want to convert these chart types to the current default charts, upgrade them to a different chart type, such as a column or line chart.
