Merging Percentage Lines with The Bars in Tableau Desktop - visualization

I have a graph that shows the ratio (count) of payable vs. processed words among the total words on stacked bars. I would also like to display the same ratio in percentages in lines overlapping the bars.
At the moment I have them in two separate graphs, but I want to merge them so that it takes less space in my dashboard view. I am unable to select the dual combination view as it requires two measures and even though I keep trying to cmd+click+drag the percentage measure pill to my marks, it's only changing the calculations in the bars but not allowing me to select the dual combination view.
Since the percentages are basically the ratio of the green/total in the bars, I don't think I need any complicated configurations for displaying it, however, I am also failing to achieve what I want.
Could you please tell me how to do this visualization?
Edit: I noticed that the reason I couldn't generate the dual combination view was that I had three date pills (year, quarter, month), and by removing two of them, I'm able to generate the dual combination view, but it's far from what I'm looking for as it's only splitting the stacked bar into bar+line.

Neeku, I certainly understand the desire to minimize "real estate" in your dashboard. If I understand your needs correctly, I believe that overlaying a transparent-background chart over the first chart might meet your needs, if a dual-axis chart doesn't work for you (for example, if you wanted to overlay a line chart on a column chart that is itself already dual axis).
By way of example, here is a simple Sample Superstore dashboard with a line chart on top and a stacked column at the bottom.
simple dashboard
Change the line chart to "Floating"
Size it to fit over your column chart and change the background to transparent by clicking anywhere in the line chart and select "Format"
...Format Shading
...and "None" for the color selection
Your line chart is now an overlay, but it's pretty messy.
Click on the line chart and hide field labels,
...turn off "Show Header" for each pill in the line chart
Clean things up and it should look better:
Note: one big issue with this approach is that you will not be able to click to select chart elements of the underlying chart.

Time Stack Chart with years as horizontal axis

I want to add a stacked chart but could not find a way to customize the time-axis.
Currently my x-axis refers to days, however, I search for a way to display years. Since I want a stacked chart that changes over time, I believe I need to use the 'Time Stack Chart' (see screenshot). I would also be happy with simply several stacked bars next to each other (each bar represents one year), but the 'Bar Chart' only supports one bar (I believe).
My model collects data from different sources on the last day of the year and then my chart should display this value for the year, categorized by source. I have tried with different data sets, both where the time is the horizontal value and where it is not.
When I use a dataset where one value is 'Years' (through the getYear() function) this works fine for plots, but not when I want to have a stacked chart (which by default depends on the time).
Is there a solution to this?
Please let me know if you need further information!
You need to go to the appearance part, time axis format, set it to yyyy. Also in the scale section, you need to change model time units to years.

Why are my measures not overlaid in dual-axis chart?

I have two measures, one is the actual the other is the total. I want to create a bar chart of the totals with the actual overlaid as a line. Why are they separate and not combined in my visual? I can't seem to combine them.
The missing step is to specify the measure you want on the dual axis. On the Rows shelf, right-click on the Balance Growth measure. Select the menu option for Dual Axis. That will make the dual axis chart and also give you a menu option for synchronizing the axis if you would like.
See the online help http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/multiplemeasures_dualaxes.html for more infromation.

Grafana bar graph sorting, lower values not visible

I have a bar graph in Grafana (with InfluxDb). Its grouped by time and a tag. But I noticed that the large values are being drawn over the lower values.
Example below. You can see the points where the lower value bars are. I would expect that the lower values are drawn on top. Is this a setting?
Query:
Looking at your data it appears to be showing the time spent in each component of a request pipeline, so my suggestion would be to present them as stacked bars, which will better represent how each contributes to the total time spent.
You can enable stacked mode on the Display tab of the graph edit panel.
If you're more interested in seeing how each item compares to the others, then maybe a line or point plot would be easier to read, especially as superimposed bars will be be assumed to be stacked by most viewers.

Merging 3 bar charts into one stacked bar chart in Tableau

I am struggling to create stacked bar chart out of 3 separate bar charts in Tableau.
They suppose to look like this:
However, closest I've got is this in tableau
With other charts it's kinda easier with just dragging the values from rows into the y-axis and voala - stacked bar chart. Over here they just disappear, as I've removed them.
Hope anyone can shed light to my darkness with Tableau.
You were close with your second Tableau screen shot.
From that configuration, move Measure Names from the Columns shelf to the Color shelf. Then you will get a colored bar for each measure on the Measure Values shelf, instead of a column for each measure.

Choosing one measurement in a chart in QlikSense

I have created a chart where the x-axis (dimensions) is months, and for the y-axis (expressions) I have a few different data bars, which are compared to the first bar (which is the total).
It is possible to add a slicer or something like that so that I can choose which measurements I want to see? For example, sometimes I need to hide some of them.
In the example bellow: main bar is dark blue one and the other bars for each month is a comparison vs the first one. How can I select for example, to see only the green bars vs the main blue bar and not see all the other bars in that month?
Use filter pane, add filter for each bar, you can select which bar you want to see by these filter.
