• horizontal (x) and 
• vertical (y).

x axis is called the "category axis" (can display numeric as well as non-numeric values)

y axis is called the "series axis".(can display numeric as well as non-numeric values).

Series 

• Single-series charts: Charts that display data with a series (y) value mapped to a category (x) value.
• Multi-series charts: Charts that display data with multiple series values mapped to a single category value. Multi-series charts include stacked column charts, which vertically display the contribution of each series to a total across categories, and 100% stacked column charts, which compare the percentage that each series contributes to a total across categories. You can combine different compatible chart types in multi-series charts, for example, column and line, bar and line, and so on.
