How to make Stacked Bar Charts

Introduction

Bar Charts can be made to present data in several ways. Both of these pages describe more of the details around creating these.

Bar Charts

Time Series Bar Charts

Stacked Charts

In both options users can stack the data to further improve the display. This example is a Time Series Bar Chart with several Variables stacked to give the total emissions for the year.

Time Series

First, choose the type you want, then tick the Stack Bars option.

Choose the Data Series you want to plot (in this example Variables), then choose the bin range for the Time Series.

There will be an option to only include one Sample Point. Then select the Variables to be included within the stack. 

There is an option to show the additional settings. Here the Summary Type can be changed to suit the data in question (it will default to average). This can be important depending on the frequency of the underlying data and what the user is trying to represent. In this example, a Sum of the underlying data for the year represents the annual total.

Bar Chart

Select the Bar Chart option and tick the Stacked Bars. Next, choose the Sample Points and Variables to be included. There is an option to multi-select both. 

Then click on Draw Graph.

To amend the Summary Type, or to switch the X-Axis Grouping with the Data Series, use the additional settings. Then click on the Draw Graph

This example is toggled to summarise average concentrations of the Variables for each Sample Point chosen.
