Tips for creating Single stacked bar charts based on table types
When charting "result" tables, make sure there is only one multi-category variable in the table.
- Example: This result table has a multi-category variable in the rows – State or Territory.
- Example: This result table has a multi-category variable in the columns – State or Territory.
When charting "calculation" tables, there are no restrictions on the number of multi-category variables.
