Negative values on a Stacked barchart

Chen

Hi,

I am trying to plot a stacked barchart, just in absolute value, NOT in percentages. However, one of the data points has negative value, and it seems dataiku's stacked barchart cannot be used if there is negative value in the data. It throws the below error: "Cannot represent negative values on a Stacked chart. Please use another chart."

I am wondering if there is a workaround?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Chen,

I tried it on my side as well. Indeed, it tells me that stacked bar chart does not work with negative values.

However, you can probably use another chart type called Lines.

Hope it helps!

Thanks Han_Han, line chart would not be able to have the "stack" effect.

Just out of curiosity, why the stack effect is important to you? I guess it depends on your data, maybe you can share more about it?
