Stacked Area/Bar/Column Chart

In this article, we will explain how to create and customize a Stacked area chart. So let's get started!

PreviousCombo ChartNext100% Stacked Column/Bar/Area Chart

Last updated 1 month ago

A Stacked Area Chart is a type of area chart that displays multiple data series on top of one another, emphasizing their cumulative values over time. This visualization is useful for showing how different components contribute to a total while maintaining the ability to analyze trends and patterns. It is commonly used for financial reports, market share analysis, and resource allocation tracking.

When to Use a Stacked Area Chart

  • Visualizing cumulative trends: Great for understanding how multiple series contribute to a total over time.

  • Comparing part-to-whole relationships: Useful for tracking the proportion of different categories across a continuous variable.

  • Displaying gradual changes: Helps in identifying growth patterns and distribution changes over time.

  • Stacking multiple data series: Allows clear visibility of how each series contributes to the overall trend.

How to Set Up a Stacked Area Chart in Infinity

1. Selecting the Chart Type

  1. Navigate to the Chart Type dropdown in the chart editor.

  2. Select Stacked Area from the available chart types.

2. Configuring Data Series

  1. Click Add Data Series to set up the chart:

    • X-Axis: Select the time-based or categorical variable (e.g., Year, Month).

    • Y-Axis: Add multiple series to represent different data segments.

3. Customizing the Stacked Area Chart

  • Use the Advanced Editor to fine-tune grid lines, labels, and legends.

Similarity to Stacked Bar and Stacked Column Charts

The Stacked Area Chart works similarly to Stacked Bar Charts and Stacked Column Charts, but instead of using discrete bars, it represents data as continuous, stacked areas. Stacked Bar Charts and Stacked Column Charts are often used for categorical comparisons, such as market share by region or sales by product category. The setup process for stacked bar and column charts follows the same structure, where the X-axis represents categories, and the Y-axis represents cumulative values. While we are not covering these charts in detail, the customization options and data configuration steps are nearly identical to those of the Stacked Area Chart.
