# Heavy-styling combo chart. Volume as plain blue bars on primary axis. Sales
# as a styled secondary-axis line: dashed green 70AD47 line at width 3, plus
# circle markers with blue fill, red border and 1.5 stroke width. Y-axis has
# dashed major and dotted minor gridlines (gray shades) and a thick black
# axis line. X-axis is moved to crosses = "min" with a thick black line.
# Chart at E2:M20.
