Stack only some bars

[swiftice3253]

Hello,

• What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
  V9.3.6

• What are you trying to achieve?
  I want to plot bars as sub-meters and their total

• How are you trying to achieve it?
  I use the bar chart visualization.

• What happened?
  When I choose the stack option, all or none series are impacted.

• What did you expect to happen?
  I would lie to stack all sub-meters but not the total bar.
  I thought overrides options could allow to modify some series but there is no stack option available

How to stack some bars but not some others ?

Hi @swiftice3253,

Thanks for opening this post.

You can do this with the Override option and select a customized standard unit for time

I attached a screencast (open it in a new window as will be easier to zoom in and view more clearly)

Let us know if this helps.

Hello @usman.ahmad,

Thank you for your reply.

I haven’t explained clearly enough.
Let’s assume that I have 3 series : EnergyMeter1, EnergyMeter2 and TotalEnergy
I would like to draw a bargraph with EnergyMeter1 & EnergyMeter2 stacked just near TotalEnergy not stacked

Is it better explained ?

Hi @swiftice3253

Thanks for providing the details.

I have created a mock data by using random walk

A separate query for EnergyMeter1 and EnergyMeter2

Then using Transformation to get a sum of both above as Total Engery.

Then use Bar chart visualisation

Then go into settings on right side under Bar Chart → Stacking → Select either Normal OR 100%

Also use “Highlight full area on hover” for better visual appear when hovering mouse.
