Bar Chart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nFirst of all, we must know that it is not a standard bar chart. As we know, a single bar chart represents a single variable. However, a stacked bar chart gives us a representation of two categorical variables. The primary variable or first variable can be seen along the entire bar length.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, stacks are used to represent the second variable in each categorical bar.\r\n\r\nLet&#8217;s take an example. We have total monthly organic visits and levels for the search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and others.\r\n\r\nWe can display the total organic visits in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-bar-graph-on-google-docs\/\">standard bar chart<\/a>. However, we could use a stacked bar chart to get a sense of the breakdown by the search engine.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-18-at-09.06.35.png\" alt=\"3D stacked bar chart - organic visits from search engines\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1220\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-18-at-09.06.35.png 1980w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-18-at-09.06.35-300x185.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-18-at-09.06.35-1024x631.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-18-at-09.06.35-768x473.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-18-at-09.06.35-1536x946.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/>\r\n\r\nA stacked bar chart can help us to represent individual contributions. As a result, we get two categorical variables; search engine and month.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_To_Use_A_Stacked_Bar_Chart\"><\/span>When To Use A Stacked Bar Chart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nIn simple words, we use a stacked bar chart to determine trends across a particular time period. We can see the four most common uses of a stacked bar chart below:\r\n\r\n<strong>Business budget representation in the form of spending vs saving.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Determination of vehicle performance in the form of mileage vs performance.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Economy representation in the form of supply and demand.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Representation of marketing (spending vs results)<\/strong>\r\n\r\nComparison of small aspects and full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/impressive-data-visualization-examples-to-boost-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data visualization<\/a> can be performed using a stacked bar chart. It is interesting to note that a stacked bar chart accurately represents our data. Due to higher accuracy, stacked bar charts are popular.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.surferseo.art\/12dfc602-f7d4-42df-982e-8bb26ab6c9f5.jpeg\" alt=\"stacked bars or stacked charts chart types\" \/>\r\n\r\nA small range of scenarios exists when we use the stacked bar charts. We compare the decomposition of each bar and the numeric values of a categorical variable. The chart should have the following things:\r\n\r\n<strong>Numeric values<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>One or two categorical variables.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Regular date intervals<\/strong>\r\n\r\nStacked bar charts are ideal for showing the business sales volume. For example, we can break down the sales of mobile phones across different stores in a particular country. We can also divide them into further subcategories. For example, male and female purchases.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.surferseo.art\/c2107334-17f4-4e41-a519-947fd8eb5612.jpeg\" alt=\"stacked bar graphs , standard bar charts or line graph\" \/>\r\n\r\nWe can also use the stacked bar charts to compare data and information relevant to the population. For example, a comparison of age groups for a particular set of options.\r\n\r\nWe use the stacked bar charts to show the average or total of each category. It is important to note that the length of the bar represents the volume of numeric values. The longer the bar, the larger the volume of a stacked bar chart.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Common_Misuses_Of_a_Stacked_Bar_Chart\"><\/span>What Are The Common Misuses Of a Stacked Bar Chart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nEven though stacked bar charts give accurate results, people still misuse these charts. Knowing the misuse can help businesses to use the stacked column charts in the right ways.\r\n\r\nHere are some most common misuses of a stacked column chart.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Looking_For_Data_Series_Trends\"><\/span>Looking For Data Series Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nPeople use stacked column charts to represent the trends in a data series. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-a-graph-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scatter plot graph<\/a>s are better at charting the data series trends compared to stacked column charts.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.surferseo.art\/21f6185e-c868-40c0-a040-edf0f9d2de11.webp\" alt=\"charts for business sales\" \/>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Analysis_Of_Stock_Market_Trends\"><\/span>Analysis Of Stock Market Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nWe know that stock market trends are changing on a daily basis. To understand those trends and analyze them, charts and graphs are used. However, a stacked column chart might not be the right choice for this purpose.\r\n\r\nBar graphs and line charts help us in a much better way to perform an analysis of stock market trends.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Budgeting\"><\/span>Simple Budgeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nLastly, simple budgeting is another common misuse of a stacked column chart. We must know that donut charts and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/pie-charts-examples-with-explanation-comprehensive-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pie graphs<\/a> are better for representing simple budgeting.\r\n\r\nThe reason is that pie charts are better at representing relative or percentage comparisons. These charts don&#8217;t represent the absolute values that a stacked column chart shows.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.surferseo.art\/d0bfc118-7d9b-4703-9573-067fe6164cca.webp\" alt=\"multiple charts for same chart\" \/>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Steps_To_Create_A_Stacked_Bar_Chart\"><\/span>What Are The Steps To Create A Stacked Bar Chart?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nCreating a stacked column chart might seem rocket science. However, it is simple when we follow a few easy steps. Let&#8217;s explore the four easy steps to create stacked bar charts.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Determine_The_Targeted_Segments\"><\/span>Determine The Targeted Segments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe type of data on the axes helps us to determine the data for a stacked column chart. The ordered values are usually plotted on the x-axis. On the other hand, a list of items is plotted on the y-axis. A numeric variable (1,2,3) helps to represent the items list.\r\n\r\nWe can also represent it using a qualitative variable (A, B, C). Simply put, we have to determine the targeted segments.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selection_Of_a_Bar_Chart_Template\"><\/span>Selection Of a Bar Chart Template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nAfter determining the ordered value, the next step is to choose the bar chart template. The interesting thing to know is that we don&#8217;t have to build everything from scratch. We just need to choose a template and insert the data.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data_Clarity\"><\/span>Data Clarity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nIt is important that your stacked column chart should have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/storytelling-data-visualization-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data clarity<\/a>. Adding white spaces to your stacked column chart can make the data visualization clear. We can also use contrasting colors that show data variation.\r\n\r\nMoreover, we can also use different lengths to show the relative segment size. It will make more sense to the chart users.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_an_External_Perspective\"><\/span>Getting an External Perspective<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nIt is important to get a review of our stacked column chart from someone. Getting an external perspective from an expert can improve the chart. It is an excellent idea to find errors and see new ideas.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.surferseo.art\/d765199b-675e-4f0d-8c28-1a3447eb46aa.webp\" alt=\"combined chart type in dual axis charts for stacked graph\" \/>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Create_A_Stacked_Bar_Chart_In_React_Native_Using_FusionCharts\"><\/span>How To Create A Stacked Bar Chart In React Native Using FusionCharts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWe can import the stacked bars chart using the following code:\r\n<pre class=\"lang:json\">import React, { Component } from \"react\";\r\nimport { AppRegistry, StyleSheet, Text, View, Platform } from \"react-native\";\r\nimport FusionCharts from \"react-native-fusioncharts\";\r\n\r\nconst dataSource = {\r\n  chart: {\r\n    caption: \"Split of visitors by Channels &amp; Gender\",\r\n    placevaluesinside: \"1\",\r\n    showvalues: \"0\",\r\n    plottooltext: \"<b>$dataValue<\/b>  $seriesName visitors\",\r\n    theme: \"fusion\"\r\n  },\r\n  categories: [\r\n    {\r\n      category: [\r\n        {\r\n          label: \"Organic\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          label: \"Offline Stores\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          label: \"Email Campaigns\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          label: \"Social Events\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          label: \"Paid Channels\"\r\n        }\r\n      ]\r\n    }\r\n  ],\r\n  dataset: [\r\n    {\r\n      seriesname: \"Male\",\r\n      data: [\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"17000\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"19500\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"12500\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"14500\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"17500\"\r\n        }\r\n      ]\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      seriesname: \"Female\",\r\n      data: [\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"25400\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"29800\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"21800\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"19500\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          value: \"21200\"\r\n        }\r\n      ]\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n};\r\n\r\nexport default class App extends Component {\r\n  constructor(props) {\r\n    super(props);\r\n\r\n    this.state = dataSource;\r\n\r\n    this.libraryPath = Platform.select({\r\n      \/\/ Specify fusioncharts.html file location\r\n      ios: require(\".\/assets\/fusioncharts.html\"),\r\n      android: { uri: \"file:\/\/\/android_asset\/fusioncharts.html\" }\r\n    });\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  render() {\r\n    return (\r\n      \r\n        \r\n          FusionCharts Integration with React Native\r\n  \r\n       );\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n\r\nconst styles = StyleSheet.create({\r\n  container: {\r\n    flex: 1,\r\n    padding: 10\r\n  },\r\n  heading: {\r\n    fontSize: 20,\r\n    textAlign: \"center\",\r\n    marginBottom: 10\r\n  },\r\n  chartContainer: {\r\n    height: 200\r\n  }\r\n});\r\n\r\n\/\/ skip this line if using Create React Native App\r\nAppRegistry.registerComponent(\"ReactNativeFusionCharts\", () =&gt; App);\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<strong>Some Best Practices By FusionCharts:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe must start the y-axis from zero, which accurately reflects the data <span data-color=\"rgb(249, 249, 251)\">proportionate difference.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe have to display the sum value on top of each bar or column.
