Plot two columns in a dataframe in a stacked bar plot using ggplot()

Hello,

My dataframe has two columns which I want to put on a stacked bar plot using ggplot():

  • There is a "CUST_REGION_DESCR" column.
  • There is a "Total_Sales" column.
  • Two other columns are a "Total_PL_Sales" and a "Total_NonPL_Sales"

How do I plot a bar plot with x = CUST_REGION_DESCR, y = Total_Sales, and each bar plot contains the raw dollars amount (not Percentage) of both Total_PL_Sales and Total_NonPL_Sales so that these two numbers add up to Total_Sales in each x-axis tick.

df9b %>% ggplot()+
  geom_bar(aes(x = CUST_REGION_DESCR, y = Total_Sales), stat = "identity") +
  coord_flip() + theme(legend.position = "none")

Created on 2018-07-09 by the reprex
package
(v0.2.0).

Additionally, it would be great if I can do a side-by-side bar plot. I assume I use

position = "dodge"

but correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!

Is this what you are after?

df9b %>% 
  select(-cluster, -Frequency, -Total_Sales) %>% 
  gather(variable, value, -CUST_REGION_DESCR) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = CUST_REGION_DESCR, y = value, fill = variable)) +
  geom_col() +
  coord_flip() + 
  theme(legend.position = "bottom")

I have a few questions based on your code and yes, this is what I want. However, is there a way for me to show the dollar sign on the x-asix with comma as well? For instance, can I show one of the ticks on the x-asix as $1,000,000?

  • When you call gather() statement, there are three components: variable, value and -CUST_REGION_DESC. Where do these three variables come from?

Thank you.

I think you need the scales package for changing the labels. scales::dollar_format() should work.

To plot the separate sales values, the data was transformed into a long format via tidyr::gather(). variable and value are just nominal names for the new columns and could be named anything else.

Is there a way for me to reorder the bar plot based on the Total_PL_Sales value?

ggplot(aes(x = reorder(CUST_REGION_DESCR,-value), y = value, fill = Buckets))

This one does not give me what I want.
Thanks!

You could turn CUST_REGION_DESCR into a factor and use forcats::fct_reorder() to reorder it based on Total_Sales before dropping that variable.

CUST_REGION_DESCR is already a factor.
