Choosing between a stacked vs clustered bar chart depends on what story your data needs to tell and a clustered bar chart, 100% stacked bar chart, and standard stacked chart each answer a different question. This guide shows how to build and switch between all of them in Ampler Charts.
What you’ll learn in this video:
- How to build a standard stacked chart
- How to build a clustered bar chart
- How to build a stacked clustered chart
- How to build a 100% stacked bar chart
- How to switch between chart types without rebuilding your chart
A clustered bar chart is the right choice when you want to compare values side by side across categories. A stacked bar chart shows how parts make up a whole within each category. A 100% stacked bar chart goes a step further, showing relative proportions rather than absolute values. Ampler Charts lets you build any of these and switch between them without starting your chart over from scratch, so you can test which chart type tells your story most clearly.
