I want to create stacked bar charts with multiple series. The usual expectation for such charts is that each serie is stacked on top of the other series, along the same horizontal line. However, I’m finding that the series end up staggered next to each other instead. See the attached PowerPoint with illustrations. The first slide shows the problem I’m experiencing. The second slide shows more or less the result I want to see (I created this by converting the chart to stacked percentage, but the series stacking is the same).
For this example, I’m using the sample code from this page:
I have worked over the scenario shared by you and like to share that Aspose.Slides is creating a stacked column or bar chart. However, the issue is that when generating the chart the default series overlapping option is not set to 100. I have explored the property and have found that it is presently unavailable. I have added an issue as new feature request with ID SLIDESNET-35663 in our issue tracking system to add the requested support. For the time being, I request you to please try setting the series overlap to 100 to get exact overlap of series using PowerPoint. I am also in contact with our development team for this feature and will share the feedback with you as soon as it will be shared by our development team.
If I understand your conclusion correctly, this effectively means that for practical purposes, stacked bar charts and stacked column charts are not supported or available through Aspose.Slides? A stacked chart can technically be created, but if the series are not stacked and in-line, then that is ususally not what someone is looking for. I know we can fix this manually through PowerPoint, but when automating hundreds of reports…
This sounds like a pretty serious omission, so hopefully it will get fixed soon…?!
I have requested the development team to share an ETA regarding this feature. As soon as I get the information, I will update you via this forum thread.
