1. What is a Stacked Bar Chart?

Same as a stacked column chart, a Stacked Bar Chart is used to break down and compare each part of an entire group.

Each bar represents a specific group, and segments in the bar display different parts or categories of that group.

In a Stacked Bar Chart, different colors are used to illustrate the different categories in the bar.

2. When to use a Stacked Bar Chart?

A Stacked Bar Chart is ideal for:

• Data that is segmented and added to a whole

• Dimension with long labels

• Comparision across the different bars

• Compare the individual category of one category across the different bars

• Compare the size of different categories if they're very different
