Is there a way to replicate an Excel combo chart in Domo?

You have multiple options to do this. You can have a simple bar + line chart. You can do a stacked bar + line as well as grouped bars + Line. The stacked bars can show actual values or % breakdown(i.e. region/channel breakdown by %). You can also add multiple lines on each of these charts.

@user01332 I apologize as this was lost in the middle of a lot of other work. I'm not sure if you already found your answer but wanted to respond just the same. I set my data up as follows:
Quarter Series Value 2015 Q1 Category 1 189 2015 Q2 Category 1 190 2015 Q3 Category 1 178 2015 Q4 Category 1 170 2016 Q1 Category 1 175 2015 Q1 Target Category 1 165 2015 Q2 Target Category 1 165 2015 Q3 Target Category 1 165 2015 Q4 Target Category 1 170 2016 Q1 Target Category 1 170 2015 Q1 Category 2 138 2015 Q2 Category 2 134 2015 Q3 Category 2 136 2015 Q4 Category 2 140 2016 Q1 Category 2 131 2015 Q1 Target Category 2 120 2015 Q2 Target Category 2 120 2015 Q3 Target Category 2 120 2015 Q4 Target Category 2 125 2016 Q1 Target Category 2 125 The first column was my date range (in my case just 5 consecutive quarters). The 5 quarters would be repeated for each of the series in column 2.
Column 2 represented my series and the series target.
Column 3 had the values for the series in column 2.
Once the data is imported into Domo I chose the Line + Grouped Bar option.
My date range was in the X Axis
The Y Axis is my values
The series would then be the series from Column 2.
Under Chart properties under General I chose:
Series on Left Scale = 2
Sync Value Scales was checked as both my line lines (which represented the targets) and the bars (which represented the actuals) had the same scale
I then checked Hide second scale as I didn't need to see both.
Hopefully this helps.

Godzilla, thanks for the update. I played around with the Group Bar + Line chart and realized that I needed to manipulate the data in Excel in order to get the data the way I wanted it. I needed 2 bars and 2 lines. The bars represent the actuals and the lines the targets. By setting up the data in a specific format in Excel I got it to work by using that import as my data source. Thankfully this data is only updated once a quarter so I don't need it to link to live data.
