Stacked Bar in Dashboard Studio

i have created a stacked bar based on a data source (query) and everything works with the exception of:

i have to select each data value to display when the query runs through Data Configuration - Y

meaning all of my desired values show up there but they are not "selected" by default so the chart is blank until i select them?

Please can you share the source of (the relevant parts of) your dashboard so we can see what settings you have used.

ok i think i have the formula worked out and now i can get my average and totals on one chart. i suspect, however, that you cant overlay a line chart on a stacked column chart as now that i am able to add my average to my stacked column, it appears, but appears as one of the stacked items in each column and not as a line  as a line overlay (the large orange stacked counts are the average)

If the average is in a field, it should be available for you to use as an overlay. Which version of Splunk are you using? (Dashboard Studio is still under development so some features may be working in earlier versions. Make sure you are on the latest version.)
