Stacked column

Use a stacked column visualization to compare the proportional contributions for each item to the total, such as sales for products and sales for products each month.

With a stacked column visualization, you can compare the values of various items in a single column or show the contributions of items to the total value.

If there are so many bars that the labels are impossible to read, filter the data to focus on a subset of the data or use a tree map.

The following image shows an example of a stacked column visualization.

To re-create this stacked column visualization, perform the following steps:

1. From a dashboard, click the Visualizations icon , and in the System tab of the Visualizations pane, select Stacked column.
