Stacked bar chart templates for segment breakdowns
A stacked horizontal bar chart stacks each category's series end to end, so the full bar length shows the total and each segment shows its share, while the horizontal layout keeps long category labels readable. It's a common format for multi-topic survey breakdowns, revenue by segment across long product names, and any ranked list where composition matters as much as the total. Pick a template, paste your data, and drop the finished chart into your deck.
When should I use a stacked bar chart instead of grouped?
Use a stacked bar chart when the total and its composition both matter — for example, total survey responses per topic and their breakdown by sentiment. Use a grouped bar chart when you just want to compare series side by side.
Does a stacked bar chart handle long category labels well?
Yes. The horizontal orientation places labels to the left of each bar, so long product names, question text, or department names display in full without rotation or truncation.
