100% Stacked Column Chart

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

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

A 100% Stacked Column 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 use to categorize the measure can be placed in the Columns block. If you want to categorize based on a series, the corresponding dimension can also be placed in the Rows block.

The following steps explain how to configure data for a 100% stacked column chart:

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

2. Click the Data Source button located 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 shown (Here, the Microsoft Excel connection type is selected for demonstration).

5. In the NEW DATA SOURCE configuration panel, fill in the connection type and related details. Then, 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 to open the property pane.

8. Now, please switch to the ASSIGN DATA tab.

9. The ASSIGN DATA tab will be opened, with available measures and dimensions from the connected data source.

10. You can add the required data from the Measures and Dimensions into the designated field.

Adding Value(s)

You can add more than one Measures to the Value(s) field by dragging and dropping the required measure.

Click the Settings option to change the name by using the Rename option and selecting the required summary type from the available summary types shown in Settings.

Filtering data

You can filter the data that is displayed in the chart by using the Filter option. For more details, refer to the filter.

Formatting data

You can format the data to be displayed in the chart by using the Format option. For more details, please refer to the measure format.

To remove the added value fields, click the highlighted button.

You can add more than one column from the Dimensions field into the Value(s) field.

Adding Columns

You can add more than one value to the Columns field.

The 100% stacked column chart will be rendered like this.

You can change the settings.

Renaming fields

The field names that have been configured can be edited by using the Rename option provided in the settings menu.

Sorting data

You can sort the dimension data using the Sort option under the Settings menu list. To apply sorting for the data, refer to the Sort.

filtering data

You can apply filters by selecting the Filter(s) option in settings. For more details, refer to the filter.

To display all records, click on Show All Records.

Similarly you can add the Measures and Expression Columns into column field.

Multi-Level Drill Down

If you add more than one value to the Columns field, the alert message will be shown to enable the drill-down option. Click Yes to enable the option.

NOTE: If you click No, the single value will be added to the Columns field.

The selected region of the chart is displayed in a drilled view.

Adding Rows

You can drag and drop the Dimension into the Rows field.

If necessary, you can apply a filter and sort option to the rows field.

This will generate a series of charts.

Hidden Column

Hidden columns are useful in cases where we do not want the fields to participate in the visualization, but only to be used for linking, filtering and view data.

We can configure both measure and dimension fields into the hidden column. For measures, we will have all the settings we have for measure fields except formatting and filtering.

In the case of dimension fields, we will have the following options only. In Date fields, we will have all available types except sorting, relative date filter, settings, and filters.

Linking

The primary use case for hidden columns is linking. When configuring hidden columns, we can see that the fields configured in hidden columns are listed in the linking section. When configuring the column in linking, we can pass the corresponding column value in the linking parameter.

Measure Based Example: If we want to pass the number of matches played as a URL parameter but do not want it to affect the visualization, we can configure the matches in the hidden columns and include them in the link.

Dimension Based Example: If we want to include the number of Team Name played as a URL parameter without affecting the visualization, we can set up the Team Name in hidden columns and include them in the link.

Filtering

You can use hidden columns to filter data in the visualizations. Please configure hidden columns and click on the filter icon below.

Click on the Custom button that is highlighted in the filter configuration dialog image below. This will display a list of all the fields that are currently configured in the widget. Keep the field that is configured in the hidden column and remove the other fields. Finally, click on the Update button.

Now, we can see in the image below that the data is filtered based on the hidden column field instead of the actual column that we bound in the widget.

For more details about filtering the widget data, refer to the Filter Configuration documentation.

View Data

You can view the data in the hidden columns in the underlying data view. This is useful for checking the data in more detail and can help you identify any issues with the data.

NOTE: We do not recommend configuring lower hierarchy data in hidden columns. This is indicated by the information icon in the Hidden Column section.

The chart below displays the goals and attempts on target by each team without any hidden columns.

If we configure lower hierarchy data (Player Name) in hidden columns compared to column and Row field data, the data configured in the widgets becomes duplicated, and individual columns are split based on the hidden column field. This affects the chart visualization, as can be seen in the image below.

How to format 100% stacked column chart?

You can format the 100% stacked column chart to better illustrate the view you require by using the settings available in the Properties tab.

To configure data into a 100% stacked column chart, follow these steps:

1. Please drag and drop the 100% stacked column chart onto the canvas and resize it to your desired size.

2. Configure the data into a 100% stacked column chart.

This allows you to edit the title of the Primary Value Axis, which will be reflected in the name of the y-axis on the chart.

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 display negative values at the top and positive values at the bottom. For example, when we bind temperature data to the chart and want to display negative values at the top, we can utilize 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 on 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 in the number type as depicted below.

Please click on 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 in the chart axis.

Range Parameter Value:

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

1. Create a parameter of the range type.

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, and the value entered in the second textbox is stored in the end parameter. Only numeric values are allowed for the parameter value (Number type parameter values only allowed).

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

Data Source Field Based Parameter Value:

1. Create a parameter in the data source type, where you can choose any field. The value of the parameter will be based on the selected field value.

2. Click on 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 on the chart axis.

Axis Format

This option enables you to format the values of the primary and secondary axes using the formatting details provided in the Format button. For further information, please refer to this measure format.

Grid Lines

Primary value Axis

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

Category Axis

If we uncheck the Show Axis Title property, the Axis title text box property will be hidden.

This allows you to enable the gridlines for the Category Axis in the 100% stacked column chart.

Series Palette

This allows you to apply color to chart series either by 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 toggling off the Use Default Palette option, the Color Mapping Type will be shown.

Color Mapping Type

By using the Color Mapping type, you are able to apply colors to the series, either based on data or index.

Data

It allows you to apply color to chart series based on data. If you want to assign a specific color to specific data (e.g., violet for 2021, sky blue for 2022, and green for 2020), you can use data-based color mapping. By default, the color mapping type will be Data.

Index

It enables you to assign colors to chart series based on their Index. This means that the colors remain consistent even if the data is modified. A total of 15 distinct colors are displayed, after which the colors will start repeating from the ones already used.

For example, if you are displaying the countries based on the increasing order of the case count, then index-based color mapping will be useful in setting the colors based on the rank. For instance, the top-ranked country can be assigned the color red, 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 minimal 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

By default, the Auto Font Size property is enabled. The auto font size property is used to set the font size based on the resolution of the client machine viewing the dashboard. If the user wants to customize or set a fixed font size, then they need to disable the auto font size and set the required font size.
