Key features of a 100% Stacked Column Chart in Power BI include:
- 100% Representation: Each column in the chart represents a category, and the segments within the column show the proportions of subcategories as percentages, summing up to 100% for each category.
- Relative Comparisons: This chart type is great for understanding the relative contributions of subcategories to the whole within each category. It highlights how the distribution changes across categories.
- Normalized View: Because each column represents 100%, the chart provides a normalized view that makes it easier to compare proportions.
- Color Coding: Different subcategories within each column are typically represented using distinct colors for better differentiation.
- Legend: The legend helps identify the individual subcategories.
- Tooltip: Hovering over a segment provides detailed information about the percentage it represents.
