A Vertical Normalized Stacked Bar Chart is a type of bar chart where bars are stacked on top of each other vertically, and each bar is normalized to have a total height of 100% (or 1) regardless of the values being represented. This normalization allows for easy comparison of the relative proportions of different categories within each group or across multiple groups.

The Vertical Normalized Stacked Bar Chart example below is looking at Incidents by Priority by State.

Now, let's look at the Data and Chart options for this Vertical Normalized Stacked Bar Chart. This chart is looking at Incident data, so this chart will be utilizing the incident table.

Conditions: Setting conditions allows you to query the table you are building the chart off of.

Group by and Second Group by: allows users to organize and aggregate data based on specific fields or criteria.

Aggregate Type and Second aggregate type: Refers to a data aggregation method or function used to combine or summarize data from multiple records. They allow users to perform calculations on sets of records to derive meaningful insights. Some common aggregate types include:

  1. Count: Calculates the number of records in a set.

  2. Count Distinct: counts the number of unique, non-duplicated values in a field.

  3. Sum: Adds up the values of a specified field for a set of records.

  4. Average: Computes the average value of a specified field for a set of records.

  5. Minimum: Finds the minimum value of a specified field in a set of records.

  6. Maximum: Determines the maximum value of a specified field in a set of records.

Sort by and Second sort by: Allows user to determine the order of the list. Sort by can set as Value Descending, Value Ascending, Alphabetically Descending, Alphabetically Ascending.

Now, let's look at the styling options that have been changed from the default style settings to give this chart some more clarity. First a title of "Incidents by Priority by State" is given to provide a quick understanding of what data the chart is displaying.

Next, the Display legend and Data values toggles are engaged to display the legend along with values at the bottom of the chart.

Finally, the Labels and Data Values toggles are engaged to display the values of the bars in the chart.
