Hi,

Our customer would like to see the totals on top of the bars of their cartesian charts. How can I show this for them?

Thank you,
Krisztina

    Hi Krisztina,

    from what I've understood is, that you just want the Total Value on Top of a Chart stacked by its Series.

    So here is a possibly simple solution:

    You just put the TOTAL Series to invisible, activate the labels and it looks like this. The invisible stacked Total is invisible on top but still the marker shows the Total Value:

    Another Idea is, to put the invisible TOTAL Series on the Second Axis, hide the second axis and you have the total Value next to the stacked bar:

    Hope this helps

    Best regards

    Thomas

    Hi, @Krisztina Zappert,

    How are you doing? I hope you are having a great day!

    Could this option help in this process?

    Set the chart combination mode to "Cluster" within the "SERIES" section of the chart properties.

    Please, let me know about the results.

    I am all ears for you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the recommendation!

    Unfortunately, the clients would like to have the stacked combination mode. Furthermore, the cluster mode doesn't really show the totals on top, either.

    The values I am censoring in this chart are the same values I was censoring in the previous screenshot, which are the individual values for the items. The totals for each section in the X axis is missing from this view, as well.

    It is possible to add "Row totals" and then one more bar appears, but reading this chart is not as intuitive as just having the total on top would be. It also reduces the sizes of the bars for the infividual sections.

    Our customer is hoping to have a stacked chart, and the total displayed in the chart. Is this currently possible?

    Hi Krisztina Zappert,

    have you tried with the Series Type "Bar" and the Combine mode "Stack"?

    I don't know which is the configuration of the layout you're showing us, but in the following case, for example, the cube is detailed by Planning Unit and the labels are showing the values by planning units and in yellow you can see the Total:

    If you have not a situation where the Detail by is applicable, you can think to add an algorithm that is summing up the previous cubes and showing the Total (in green):

    Hope it is useful for you.

    Hi,

    I believe Thomas's idea with the invisible totals does exactly what we want it to do!
