Multiple Area Chart Example

This multiple area chart draws two series from the same zero baseline instead of stacking them. The overlap keeps each series on its own scale, which is useful when you want to compare their shapes directly rather than interpret the sum.

How to structure the data

  • 01Use one ordered category column plus two or more numeric series measured on a compatible scale.
  • 02Choose Overlap when series are independent; choose Stacked when they are additive components of a total.
  • 03Keep the number of overlapping series low because filled regions can obscure one another.

What this example shows

Compare multiple ordered series from the same zero baseline without adding them into a cumulative stack.
