FAQ
Stacked Bar Chart Maker questions
- When is a stacked bar chart the wrong choice?
- When readers need to compare the middle segments precisely. Only the bottom segment shares a baseline, so the rest are hard to measure — use a grouped bar chart instead.
- Can I show percentages instead of absolute values?
- Convert your columns to percentages of each row total before pasting. Every bar then reaches 100% and the chart reads as a composition.
- How many segments can I stack?
- Technically as many as you have columns, but past four or five the small segments become unreadable. Group the long tail into an "Other" column.
