Allign stacked barchart with legend

CasperQlik — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:25:45 GMT

Hi Qlik Community

Is there a way to allign the segements of a stacked bar chart with the legend? See picture below for clarification.

If have found a way to flip the order but that flips both the segments and the legend, so they will still not align. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, you can try to set, in Colors and legend -> Custom -> By Dimension instead of Auto.

This way the legend is fixed (alphabetically I think), and you can set another field with the dimension in case you want to switch legend colors

I already have it set by Dimension unfortunately.

In my test, that option fixes the legend, so you can change the sort of the segments so it's equal than the legend. It doesn't works for you like that? Can you upload a sample?

I have the same question on this. the problem is in Qlikview we have 'expressions as legend' but in Qliksense it seems we no longer have. I want to have the legend shows the same orders downward as the stacked bar chart

Yes, this is also the functionality that I desire. Multiple users have requested it. But I can't get it to work.
