    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

    @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.
