I agree with April, I use a stack chart for results of a patient satisfaction survey. There are 5 items on a likert scale I like showing together, not sure that bar chart would be easy to show on one page with 5 items. It would be too cluttered.

Tell me more – why might we need to keep it as a stacked chart?

I’ve still used bar/column charts for these.

However, that’s not always an option. Do you have a tip on what to do when you have a stacked chart with tiny slices and you need to keep it as a stacked chart? Thanks!
