Stacked bar chart
A stacked bar chart divides each bar into components whose lengths add to a total. It combines an overview of magnitude with a view of composition. A normalized 100-percent version makes all bars the same length so readers compare shares rather than total size.
When it helps
Use it when the parts are mutually exclusive and form a meaningful whole, such as product revenue within each quarter. Comparing a middle segment precisely is harder because it does not share a common baseline across bars.
What to check
- Use additive components. Overlapping groups can double count the total.
- Keep units consistent. Do not stack headcount, hours, and money in the same bar.
- Choose the right denominator. Percentage stacks need a clearly defined total for each category.
- Preserve segment order. Matching order and colors help readers follow the same component.
- Explain missing values. Do not silently replace unknown amounts with zeros.
Build it with MyMap
MyMap can turn your category-component values into a stacked chart and revise the labels or layout. The example shows quarterly revenue split into Starter, Pro, Enterprise, and Add-ons, with the vertical axis in thousands of dollars.

Common questions
When should I use 100-percent stacking?
Use it when relative composition matters more than absolute totals. Keep totals available so a small category is not mistaken for a large one.
Can I stack overlapping customer groups?
Not as parts of a unique-customer total. Resolve the overlap or use a different chart that does not imply the groups are additive.
Why are middle segments hard to compare?
Their starting positions vary with the components below them. Grouped bars make direct component comparisons easier.
