Stacked Bar Chart

Stacked Bar Chart consists of multiple bar series stacked horizontally one after another. The length of each series is determined by the value in each data point.

Stacked Bar Charts make it easier to follow the variation of all variables presented, side by side, and observe how their sum changes.

The Stacked Bar Chart type should only be used when more than two series are present. However, it is also recommended to keep the number of series not too big, or else such a diagram can obscure data instead of clarifying it.

A Stacked Bar Chart that displays only one series is a simple Bar Chart.
