Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stacked bar chart?

A stacked bar chart divides each bar into colored segments representing different categories or series. The total bar height shows the combined value, while segments show the contribution of each part.

Stacked vs grouped bar chart — which should I use?

Use stacked when you want to show total plus composition. Use grouped when you want to compare individual values side by side. Use 100% stacked when the story is share of total.

Can I add more than 3 series?

Yes — add multiple editable series, give each one a color, and use the legend to keep the segments readable.

Can I make it 100% stacked?

Yes. The tool includes a 100% stacked mode that normalizes every category to 100% so you can compare composition rather than raw totals.
