Info

The charts are layered on top of one another with the right most Measure in the Rows or Columns deck appearing on top. Drag them into new positions to stack the chart layers how you like.

...

When a Combination Chart is created, measures in the chart get their own Cell Space within a Field label. Cell Spaces for a Field Label are rendered in the same physical area in a Combination Chart to allow overlays of Chart Types in the same View within a Merged Axis. Cell Spaces make possible displaying a Line Chart on top of a Bar Chart. In the case of multiple bars, multiple measures in the same Cell Space are rendered in the same location.

This may make it appear that some of your measures are not being rendered, when in fact they are. Changing which measures appear farthest right on your decks can assist in revealing them.
