Stacked bar chart with sub categories
Julien401
Hello,
I am trying to design a pretty specific bar chart where I have 3 groups of population over a period of 10 weeks.
Each week is a category and each group is a sub category, I have to show the stacked percentage of happy ppl versus unhappy.
I cannot find any way to "group" bars by sub categories. I have been trying to play with bar charts with multiple secondary axis, this get me close to the expected result but it is to much of a workaround and I cannot achieve the result.
Any advice?
EDIT: I have also been playing with stacked option but I could not get the result, would it be possible to have 6 series (3 groups x 2 values), stack the values by group and get the groups side-by-side?

Try choosing "week" for Category (X) series, "population" for Value(Y) series and "group" for Optional Y series grouping.

It looked like a promising clue to me, but actually this does not work well with stacked charts

I finally found a way to do it reading a bug about a different subject:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351143
I actually have to make a multi-y axis solution with "side-by-side" option on the axis.
The only point I cannot solve is that the X axis category text is the period only, I would have to somehow specify each population, what I have is:
_____|_____|_____|____________>
week1 week2 week3
What I would like is:
_____|_____|_____|____________>
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
week1 week2 week3
(I hope this is understandable)
