Stacked Bar Chart
Stacked segments per bar to show part-to-whole relationships over quarterly time periods with custom device attribution.
◆Rounded Corners on Top Stacked Bars Only
To prevent awkward pill shapes inside the stack, only add radius={[4, 4, 0, 0]} to the topmost Bar component in your JSX.
<Bar dataKey="mobile" stackId="a" fill="#00e5a0" />
<Bar dataKey="desktop" stackId="a" fill="#4a9eff" radius={[4, 4, 0, 0]} />A Stacked Bar Chart is ideal for developers and designers who need to display data clearly and effectively. Use this chart type when:
- ✓Comparing values across multiple categories (e.g. monthly revenue per region)
- ✓Showing ranked data where order matters (e.g. top 10 products by sales)
- ✓Displaying survey results or poll responses
- ✓Visualizing before/after comparisons
What is a stacked bar chart and how does it work?
A stacked bar chart segments each rectangular bar into multiple color-coded sub-bars stacked atop each other. It displays both the overall aggregate total of each category as well as the relative part-to-whole contribution of each sub-series.
How do you make a stacked bar chart in Recharts?
In Recharts, render multiple <Bar> components inside a <BarChart> and give them the same stackId attribute (e.g. stackId='traffic'). Recharts will automatically calculate vertical offsets and stack them sequentially.
How do you round only the top corners of a stacked bar in Recharts?
Only apply the radius prop (such as radius={[6, 6, 0, 0]}) to the final/topmost <Bar> component in your JSX. Leaving the inner and bottom bars without radius prevents awkward rounded seams inside the stack.
How do you create a stacked bar chart in Excel (stacked bar chart excel)?
In Excel, select your data table, click the Insert tab, select Column or Bar Chart, and choose 'Stacked Column' or 'Stacked Bar'. In React applications, you can render this dynamically with Recharts using interactive tooltips and modern theme styles.
