Stacked area step line

Abstract

Use the stacked area step line to show the total value of some data broken down by sub-groups.

A stacked area step line is similar to the stacked area line, but with vertical and horizontal lines between data points instead of straight lines.

This chart shows a starting set of values, and then uses shading to show values above the starting values.

When to use this tool

Use when you want to show the total value of some data broken down by sub-groups.

Step lines are useful particularly when you want to show irregularities in changes over time.
