How to display numbers correct in a stacked column in a dashboard?

Mandy A.

Hi all

when I am creating dashboards and using the "stacked Column" with a couple of values - the display is always confusing the customer. The number per value is displayed ABOVE the connected layer instead of inside the connected layer - here an example:

This is it today with the number always above the appropriate section

This is the layout I am searching for that the numbers and areas are fitting together

I haven't found a possibility to display it like that. A side by side display of the columns is not an option as this chart will receive an additional staked column every week to create a burn down chart.

Does somebody know a proper solution for it?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I feel like the best solution is to find an outside resource that lets you build a chart and gives you an iframe url to display it inside your dashboard. SmartSheet is LONGGG overdue to revisit and fix how their charts and graphs are being generated and displayed on dashboards. It's pretty awful what they give us to work with for those if you ask me.

For this problem though, I don't believe you're doing anything wrong and I am not aware of any solution or work around to correct the problem. The only thing you can do is try to adjust the settings or try a different chart/graph type.
