I'm using the Charts module with hightcharts to create charts in views, but I'm unable to create stacked one's.

Is this possible in views? Or is there any way I can override it with a custom module to achieve the same result?

Here is an example of what I need.

Also, my view:

$view = new view();
$view->name = 'stackedchart';
$view->description = '';
$view->tag = 'default';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->human_name = 'StackedChart';
$view->core = 7;
$view->api_version = '3.0';
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */

/* Display: Master */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Master', 'default');
$handler->display->display_options['title'] = 'My Stacked Chart';
$handler->display->display_options['use_ajax'] = TRUE;

If it can't be made with views, doing it with a custom module using EntityFieldQuery is also a good solution. My only issue is how to show the data in different x-axis values (field value) not knowing all the values of that field.

EDIT: Tried Pierre suggestion. dsm is outputing the name of the chart and I use it as $chart_id. No stack is produced in the chart.

The fields I have are week and status. I have multiple nodes, with different weeks and status and I need to stack the status for each week. Below is the chart WITHOUT stacking.

  • Pierre, I solved the problem. I already had a view with multiple displays. Each one was filtered by x_qc_status (like different 'Joe'). I was assuming that, with the chart_alter function I was able to do it with only one views page. So I recreated this with multiple displays + chart_alter and now the chart shows as I need. Many thanks for your support.

Option 1

Refer to the issue about Stacking column/bar charts for an example of how you can do this with a custom module. Comment #3 in it contains a sample like so:

<?php
function MYMODULE_chart_alter(&$chart, $chart_id) {
  dsm($chart_id); // Need Developer module enabled for dsm to work
  if ($chart_id == 'MYCHARTVIEW__DISPLAY') { // Watch out for those double underscores
    $chart['#stacking'] = TRUE;
  }
}
?>

This should work for both Google Charts and Highcharts as the charting library (engine).

Option 2

Your x_qc_status is like the equivalent of "Joe" in the sample you referred to. But you don't have any equivalent of at least "John" (and maybe also "Jane")? In other words: I think you only have 1 dataset to be shown in your "stacked" bar chart, and that your problem is not in the chart, but in the related "view" for which you want to create a "stacked" chart.

Therefor try the "bonus tip" mentioned in Steps to create charts using the views UI. That may help to refine your view before actually creating the chart.

  • Pierre, that doesn't work. I already tried.

  • Can you enhance your question to explain the "that doesn't work"? That might help to get you going.

  • Sorry Pierre, it was not well explained. I edited and added more information. Hope it's enought to understand what's the issue. And thanks again for the support.
