Learn more about the Stacked Bar Chart

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

Description

A stacked bar chart is another type of bar graph which allows comparison of components across categories. It is a graph that is used to break down and compare the parts of a whole. Data is plotted using horizontal or vertical bars stacked from left to right. Each bar in the chart represents a whole, and segments in the bar represent different parts or categories of that whole. Different colors are used to illustrate the different categories in the bar.
