How to create a stacked bar chart?

I am trying to create a stacked bar chart, but cannot find the option for it on Chart Types panel.

I have found lately that when I change chart types, the fields to use don't automatically change to match the chart type until I drag a field into one of the areas. Once I do that, the appropriate fields show up. Seems like this is what @muahmmad_zaidi dealing with as well. It's a nuisance bug that will hopefully be resolved in future releases.

Go to the "Vertical Bar" section in Chart Types → Select "Bar" and then add a series to it and it will be a stacked bar!

@muahmmad_zaidi The stacked bar chart type is listed under "Bar", and is the first option listed under Popular Charts

I've selected bar chart, but the option to add a series does not appear.

@muahmmad_zaidi Can you please send another screenshot of the full Analyzer view? The Series option should appear next to Y Axis

@MichelleH I just figured it out. Thanks for the help.

@muahmmad_zaidi I'm glad you got it to work! Can you please share what you did in case others have the same issue?

@MichelleH I added a tooltip to the chart. In doing so, the option to add a series appeared, so I added the series and deleted the tooltip.
