Hello, We currently have the following chart created. I would like to show each district split by week over a 4wk time period as shown in the Administration bar below. However, I'm struggling to get the results we want.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Base search:

 

```Grab badging data for the previous week```
index=* sourcetype="ms:sql" CARDNUM=*  earliest=-4w@w latest=-0@w
      | bin span=1d _time
      | eval week_number=strftime(_time,"%U")
      | dedup _time CARDNUM
      | rename CARDNUM as badgeid
            
```lookup Ceridian and Active Directory and return fields associated with employeeID and badgeid```
| join type=left badgeid
      
      ```Use HR records to filter on only Active and LOA employees```
      [search index=identities sourcetype="hr:ceridian" ("Employee Status"="Active" OR "Employee Status"="LOA*")  earliest=-1d@d latest=@d
             | eval "Employee ID"=ltrim(tostring('Employee ID'),"0")
       | stats count by "Employee ID" | rename "Employee ID" as employeeID | fields - count

|stats  latest(Region) as Region latest(employeeID) as employeeID latest(District) as District latest(RemoteStatus) as status  count as "weekly_badge_in" by badgeid week_number

```Compensate for temporary badge check-in (primary badge= badgeid temporary badge =badgeid_1```

After @fredclown above stated there was no way to do a fourth dimension in a Bar Chart, I opened a case with Splunk. Low and behold, he was right, which lead to some changes in our SPL. I thought I would share, just in case somebody else runs into the same issue.

```Grab badging data for the previous week```
index=* sourcetype="ms:sql" CARDNUM=*  earliest=-4w@w latest=-0w@w
| bin span=1d _time 
| rename CARDNUM as badgeid 
| stats count by badgeid _time

      ```Use HR records to filter on only Active and LOA employees```
      [search index=identities sourcetype="hr:ceridian" ("Employee Status"="Active" OR "Employee Status"="LOA*")  earliest=-1d@d latest=@d
             | eval "Employee ID"=ltrim(tostring('Employee ID'),"0")
       | stats count by "Employee ID" _time | fields - time | rename "Employee ID" as employeeID | fields - count
       
       ```Filter on Hybrid Remote users in Active Directory that are not Board Members and are in the Non-Branch region```

If you change the stack mode to none you should see them as bars rather then being stacked. Click Format and then select the left most selection under Stack Mode.

Thank you for the response but the suggestion does not resolve the problem. The dashboard needs to be delineated in a stacked format by District with each District showing weekly results over a 4week period.

Are you saying you want it both stacked and a weekly bar chart overlaying the stack?

Yes. So imagine the first stack with the markup being applied across the chart.

Ah got it. Unfortunately, there is no way to get that kind of a chart with the built in visualizations.
