100% Stacked Bar Chart

The 100% Stacked Bar Chart allows you to compare multiple measures by stacking the bars horizontally, one after the other.

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

A 100% Stacked Bar Chart requires a minimum of 1 value element and 1 column element to be showcased. The measure or expression field that you want to analyze can be placed in the Y Values block. The dimension that you want to use to categorize the measure 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.

This allows you to provide the description about this area chart widget.

Basic Settings

Show Tooltip

This feature enables you to switch the visibility of value labels.

If you disable the Show Value Labels properties, the dependent properties, which are color, Value label position, Value label rotation and Value label suffix will be hidden.

Value Label Color

This feature enables you to personalize the color of the value label.

Value Label Position

This option allows you to customize the position of the value label in a chart. By default, it is set to ‘Auto,’ so the label position for the percent stacked bar chart will be set as middle.

Value Label Rotation

This allows you to define the rotation angle for the value labels to display.

Column width

You can decrease or increase the width of the column.

Column Spacing

You can decrease or increase the space of the column.

Legend Settings

Show Legend

A legend is a text used to describe the plotted data. This allows you to toggle the visibility of the legend in the chart and also change the position of the legend text by selecting through the combo box.

Enabling the option of Custom Legend Text will allow you to define custom text (using the text area) to display for each legend series (selected from the combo box) in a chart.

Legend Interactivity

The chart’s legend interactivity option allows you to control the behavior of the chart legends. This provides an option to make the chart legends non-clickable, which can be especially useful in scenarios where you do not want users to hide or show series data by clicking on the legend. This might also be useful when displaying critical pieces of data that should always be present for accuracy and context purposes.

Disabling the Interactivity feature in the Legend Settings category prevents you from clicking on the legends.

Enabling the Interactivity feature in the Legend Settings category allows you to click on the legends.

Legend Label Color

This allows you to change the title and label colors of the chart legend.

Legend Position

A Legend is a text used to describe the data plotted. This option allows you to place the legend at the position of Left, Right, Top, and Bottom.

Show Primary Value Axis

This allows you to enable the Primary Value Axis for chart.

If you disable the Show Primary Axis option, dependencies properties which are Axis title, Axis title text, Axis type and Axis Format properties will be hidden.

Inverse Axis

By default, the chart axis shows positive values at the top and negative values at the bottom. However, there are times when we need to invert the axis and show the negative values at the top and positive values at the bottom. For example, when we bind the temperature data to the chart and want to display the negative values at the top, we can make use of this property.

When this property is enabled, the chart will display negative values on the top and positive values on the bottom.

Axis Range Settings

This allows you to manually set the minimum, maximum, and interval values of the primary value axis through the Axis Range Settings dialog.

It will be reflected in the primary value axis of the chart.

Parameter Support in Axis range:

This allows you to dynamically set the Minimum, Maximum, and Interval values of the primary value axis through the Axis Range Settings dialog by using the dashboard parameter values. Only number-type Dashboard parameter values are allowed in the axis range properties. You can create multiple types of dashboard parameters.

1. Single parameter value.
2. Range parameter value.
3. Data source field based parameter values.

For more details about dashboard parameter, refer to the Dashboard parameter documentation.

Single Parameter Value:

A single value is stored in this type of parameter:

1. Create a dashboard parameter of type number as shown below.

Click the axis range settings dialog and enter @ in any textbox (minimum, maximum, and interval). Select the parameter value (Only Number type parameter values are allowed).

Now, the parameter value is reflected on the chart axis.

Range Parameter Value:

If you want to establish the same ranges in multiple cases, create a parameter value of the range type. This type of parameter includes both the start and end values.

1. Create a parameter of type range.

2. Please click on the axis range settings dialog and enter @ in any textbox (minimum, maximum, and interval). The range parameter is divided into start and end parameters. The value entered in the first textbox is stored in the start parameter, while the value entered in the second textbox is stored in the end parameter. Please select a parameter value (only Number type parameter values are allowed).

3. The value of the parameter is reflected in the axis of the chart.

Data Source Field Based Parameter Value:

1. Create a parameter in the data source type. In this, choose any field. The value should be based on the selected field value.

2. Click the axis range settings dialog and enter @ in any textbox (minimum, maximum, and interval). Then, select the parameter value.

3. The value of the parameter is reflected in the chart axis.

Axis Format

This option allows you to format the primary and secondary axis values using the formatting details provided in the Format button. For more information, refer to this measure format.

Grid Lines

Primary value Axis

This enables you to enable the gridlines for the Primary Value Axis in the 100% stacked bar chart.

Category Axis

This allows you to enable the gridlines for the Category Axis on the 100% stacked bar chart.

Series Palette

This allows you to apply color to the chart series either using a default palette or a custom color palette. By default, the colors will be applied using the default palette. This series of settings will only be visible if you have configured the row section in the chart.

Use Default Palette

This option allows you to apply the default color for chart series.

By toggle off the Use Default Palette option, the Color Mapping Type will be shown.

Color Mapping Type

Using the Color Mapping type, you can apply the colors to the series either based on data or index.

Data

It enables you to apply colors to chart series based on data. If you wish to assign a particular color to specific data (e.g., violet for 2021, sky blue for 2022, and green for 2020), you can utilize data-based color mapping. The default Color Mapping Type is set to Data.

Index

It allows you to apply color to chart series based on the Index, ensuring that the colors remain consistent even if the data is changed. Only 15 different colors are shown, after which the colors will repeat from the ones above.

For example, if you are displaying the countries based on the increasing order of the case count, index-based color mapping will be useful to set the colors based on the rank. For instance, assign the color red to the top-ranked country, and this color will be maintained for the country with the largest case count.

Note: We prefer to use index-based color customization only for a minimum amount of data (up to 15 series).

Font settings

This section allows you to customize the font size of chart elements.

Auto font Size and font size
