Percent Stacked Column Chart

Intended to display the relationship of constituent parts to the whole, Percent Stacked Column Charts are effective for comparing the value-based contribution of each individual item to a total (sum) across categories. Values on the Y axis always range from 0 to 100%.

In a Percent Stacked Column Chart, values of parts are demonstrated as vertical rectangles stacked on top of one another. The height of each rectangle reflects the percentage value of the corresponding item as compared to the combined result across the category.

Percent Stacked Column Charts excel at allowing viewers to watch the variation of each of several variables concurrently as well as changes in the percentage relationship between them.
