Create a stacked chart in ArcGIS Dashboards

Summary

Incorporating a serial chart element enables efficient visualization of one or more series of data points in ArcGIS Dashboards. Data series of the same type can be grouped, stacked, or 100% stacked on a chart. A stacked chart is particularly useful to visualize data points of subgroups with multiple categories stacked on top of one another.

This article provides the workflow for creating a stacked chart in ArcGIS Dashboards.
