100% stacked area chart

A 100% stacked area chart is a type of area chart where multiple data series are stacked on top of each other to show the relationship of each series to the whole. The areas in the chart represent 100% of the data in each category, and the individual segments (or areas) within each category are divided to represent different data series.

This chart is used to visualize the proportion of each data series relative to the total for each category, making it easy to compare the contributions of different data series to the whole. A 100% stacked area chart is particularly useful when you want to emphasize the percentage distribution of data over time or across categories.

Example: From the stacked area chart below, a company can analyse the quantity of the three categories it offers, broken down by shipping mode. This visualisation provides a clear understanding of which shipping mode is most frequently chosen by customers for each category.
