Stacked bar and line chart

Explore this snippet with some demo data here.

Description

Bar and line charts can communicate a lot of info on a single chart. They require all of the elements of a bar chart:

  • 2 categorical or temporal columns - 1 for the x-axis and 1 for stacked bars
  • 2 numeric columns - 1 for the bar and 1 for the line
SELECT 
   AGG_FN(<COLUMN>) OVER (PARTITION BY <CAT_COLUMN1>, <CAT_COLUMN2>) as bar_metric,
   <CAT_COLUMN1> as x_axis,
   <CAT_COLUMN2> as cat,
   AGG_FN(<COLUMN2>) OVER (PARTITION BY <CAT_COLUMN1>) as line
FROM 
   <TABLE>

where:

  • AGG_FN is an aggregation function like SUM, AVG, COUNT, MAX, etc.
  • COLUMN is the column you want to aggregate to get your bar chart metric. Make sure this is a numeric column.
  • COLUMN2 is the column you want to aggregate to get your line chart metric. Make sure this is a numeric column.
  • CAT_COLUMN1 and CAT_COLUMN2 are the groups you want to compare. One will go on the x axis and the other on the colors of the bar chart. Make sure these are categorical or temporal columns and not numerical fields.

Usage

In this example with some example data we'll look at some sample data of users that were successful and unsuccessful at a certain task over a few days. We'll show the count of users by their outcome, then show the overall success rate for each day.

with sample_data as (
   select date('2021-01-01') registered_at, 'successful' category, abs(random()/1000000) user_count union all 
   select date('2021-01-01') registered_at, 'unsuccessful' category, abs(random()/1000000) user_count union all 
   select date('2021-01-02') registered_at, 'successful' category, abs(random()/1000000) user_count union all 
   select date('2021-01-02') registered_at, 'unsuccessful' category, abs(random()/1000000) user_count union all 
   select date('2021-01-03') registered_at, 'successful' category, abs(random()/1000000) user_count union all 
   select date('2021-01-03') registered_at, 'unsuccessful' category, abs(random()/1000000) user_count
)


select 
  registered_at, 
  category, 
  user_count, 
  sum(case when category = 'successful' then user_count end) over (partition by registered_at) / sum(user_count) over (partition by registered_at) success_rate
