The stacked area chart divides an area chart into color-coded layers, showing each layer’s relative contribution to the accumulated total.
The stacked area chart is an area chart with an attribute in the legend, which divides the area into layers. You can only use an attribute to slice with color and create layers. Stacked area charts show the relative contribution to the accumulated total of a Measure over time. Stacked area charts plot the y-axis as a percentage by default. You can also set the y-axis to 100%: click the Chart configuration icon, select the y-axis Measure, and toggle Stack 100% under Number format — or toggle it from the attribute you’re using to slice with color. Your search needs at least two attributes and one Measure to be represented as a stacked area chart.
