Stacked Bar Chart

A bar chart in which each bar is divided into segments showing the parts that make up the total.

Definition

Stacked bars show totals and composition together, but segments other than the bottom one are hard to compare across bars. 100% stacked bars show proportions only.

Exam tip

Comparing middle segments across stacked bars is hard; consider grouped bars instead.
