Total on top of a stacked bar

Marián Svetík posted Mon May 19, 2025 08:52 AM

Hello,

is there an option to display totals per category for stacked bar chart in CA 11.1.7 please?

For example, for year 2018, the total would be 27.

Many thanks,

Marian

Dashboards or reports? If you are using the newer visualisations in dashboards and reports then probably not.

If you're talking reports and are willing to switch from visuailsations to charts then yes. Visualisations give you some basic additional interactive viewer filter functionality that charts do not. However, charts have million different formatting options. So if you don't need that basic interactivity, switch to charts. I have attached an example report spec.

Hi Marian, hi Marc.

Marc, I am a fan of the possibilities of the “old” diagrams.
(I was just about to create the same example)

Especially with the combinations of different diagrams in one, there's really nothing they can't do. Here are a few more examples:
