How to create a stacked bar chart in Google Sheets

Stacked bar charts in Google Sheets are a very useful chart type when you want to show the relationship between individual data components and the whole, making it easy for viewers to compare the components within each data category. Compared to other chart types, stacked bar charts are particularly suitable for viewing the overall sum of each component in a single bar, rather than separating them into individual parts.

We will select the Stacked Bar Chart type in the chart creation interface under the Sheets selection. After selecting it, the chart will transform into a stacked chart, displaying the parts of each bar in the correct order and proportion.

Google Sheets allows you to customize charts to your needs. For example, you can display specific data directly on each bar, or change colors, fonts, titles, axes, etc., to make the chart more beautiful and professional.
