A Stacked Area Chart layers multiple series on top of each other so the cumulative total is visible at every point along the X axis. Each colored band represents one series, making it simple to compare both individual contributions and the overall sum over time.
This sample displays Apple Inc. revenue by operating segment (Americas, Europe, Greater China, Japan, and Rest of Asia Pacific) across eight quarters. A white crosshair, union tooltips, and semi-transparent fills help compare regional contributions at any quarter, while the legend identifies each segment.
Follow the step-by-step Area Chart Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Area Chart documentation for all configuration options.
