100% Stacked Area Chart

The 100% Stacked Area Chart allows for the comparison of multiple measures through the use of filled curves that are stacked vertically, one after another.

How to configure the table data to 100% stacked area chart?

A 100% Stacked Area Chart requires at least one value element and one column element to display. The measure or expression field that you want to analyze can be placed in the Y Values block. The dimension that you want to categorize the measure by can be placed in the Columns block. If you want to categorize based on a series, you can also place the respective dimension in the Rows block.

To configure the data to a 100% stacked area chart, follow the steps below:

1. Drag and drop the 100% stacked area chart onto the canvas and resize it according to your desired size.

2. Click the Data Source button in the configuration panel.

3. Click the CREATE NEW button to initiate a new connection from the connection type panel.

4. In the connection type panel, click on any one of the listed connection type buttons (Here, the Microsoft Excel Connection type is selected for demonstration).

5. In the NEW DATA SOURCE configuration panel, fill out the connection type and related details. Click the Connect button.

6. Drag your preferred table or view from the left pane in the data design view, then click the Save button.

7. Click the Properties button in the configuration panel, and the property pane will open. Now, switch to the ASSIGN DATA tab.
