Can you guess how long I’ve been a marketer? 7 years? Maybe 10? Guess again. I’ve been a marketer for 18 years now.

Stacked bar charts are difficult to interpret more often than not. One thing we can do is to use percentages instead of the actual values. Comparing the top and bottom segments becomes easier, but we lose track of the totals, and we still have difficulties with the middle parts.
