Stacked Area Charts
Stacked area charts show data as an area under a line that connects data points. They are similar to line charts and express changes across time.
Stacked area charts have the following sections:
- Measures
- View by
- Stack by
- Configuration
In stacked area charts, you can also:
Display the values as a percentage.
To do so, add a date or an attribute to the View by section.
Stack the chart by attributes.
To add attributes to the Stack by section, you must have only one item in the Measures section.
For details on how to stack multiple measures, see Stack measures.
You can add a single measure or multiple measures to create different types of area charts. See the table for details:
Table Key: ✅ = Add attributes. ❌ = Do not add attributes. N/A = Attributes not supported.
Measures | View by Attributes | Stack by Attributes | Result |
---|---|---|---|
Single | ✅ | ❌ | Area chart |
Single | ✅ | ✅ | Stacked area chart |
Multiple | ✅ | N/A | Stacked area chart |
