Explanation:

Here’s what you need to know about the different types of column charts in Excel 2013—and which one fits the description you gave:

- 3-D Column:

This one looks cool visually because the bars have depth, but it’s just your standard column chart made 3-dimensional. Nothing to do with stacking or proportions.

- Clustered Column:

Let’s say you have two years’ worth of data for three products—clustered will put the two bars for each product right next to each other for easy comparison. Doesn’t stack or subdivide the bars.

- 3-D Clustered:

Same as above, just… with 3D bars. Still clustered by category, still not stacking or dividing bars.

- 100% Stacked Column:

Each bar represents a category, and the whole bar always fills up to 100%. The segments within the bar show the proportion that each series contributes to the total. In other words, one bar per category, and it’s split by percentage share. That’s exactly what your question is describing.

- Histogram:

This one’s about showing the distribution of data—think frequency, not categories and not series. Not relevant here.
