•Point: A rule applies to the data points such as bars, points and bubbles.
•Line / Area: A rule applies to lines and areas.
If you select Line / Area, the format rule applies to the line when at least one line point meets the rule's condition:

A Chart item paints elements in pale gray if they do not meet the applied format condition. Note that this does not apply to elements that are painted by different hues.
