Stacked bar chart issue with modern charts

Hey!

I've just recently swapped to modern charts on one of my dashboards and I've noticed that one of the charts doesn't work properly. Previously with the 'old' chart types it worked just fine, so I wanted to share my situation and ask for a solution.

I created a simple column chart with a breakdown dimension. The base of the breakdown was a custom-sized bin on an existing value in the data source (I tried with a calculated fields instead of the bins but I had similar results). As a bar chart everything works (I can see the visual and the breakdown dimension is properly applied), but when I change the visual to a stacked bar chart (the wanted format), I experience something strange. The outline of the visual is on the page but the content of the chart is missing (I can select and see the blue outline but there's no stacked bar chart in the visual)

I tried this process with a field as the breakdown dimension that is a default field in the data source (not calculated field, bin or group) and Looker Studio successfully created the stacked bar chart.

Has anybody experienced this issue? How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I've got a similar issue. I have a data source with 3 fields: job_date, MB_processed, and user_email.

Previously, I had a stacked bar chart that displayed MB_processed by user_email per day. However, after enabling the modern chart, when I use user_email as a breakdown dimension, nothing is displayed (see the right chart in the screenshot). If I remove the breakdown dimension, the total MB_processed is displayed.

Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out and reporting these issues! I tried replicating this but was unable to.

Are you still seeing these issues? If so, can you share an example report with data-studio-help@google.com so we can take a look?

Thank you! 

Hello,

On my side, I'm still seeing the same issue. Let me try to reprodue the error with a copy of the data set and share it with you later.

Thank you.
