ggplot stacked bar chart issue
I have the following data
library(ggplot2)
d <- data.frame(
Type= c("t1", "t2", "t3", "t4"),
value= c(14000, 2500, 145, 900))
I want to create a horizontal stacked bar chart. I have the following code:
ggplot(data = d, aes(x=Type, fill=value) ) + geom_bar()
However this doesn't give me what I want. I just need one bar with the values stacked on top of one another. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

What do you want to stack? The different types? Different values? Can you clarify what you expect on the x and y-axes? You could also draw the expected result in paint or whatever, or give a different example.

If you have several x axis values ("t1", "t2", etc) the bars will not be stacked. They will be only if they share the same x value.

Try thisd %>% mutate(Type2 = "type") %>% ggplot(aes(Type2, value, fill=Type)) + geom_bar(stat="identity") + coord_flip()

If you have several x axis values ("t1", "t2", etc) the bars will not be stacked. They will be only if they share the same x value. That is solved with the dplyr pipe, that creates a temporary variable X.
Thanks to AntoniosK's comment for calling my atention to the OP's request for a horizontal bar.
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
d %>%
mutate(X = factor(1)) %>%
ggplot(aes(x = X, y = value, fill = value) ) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", width = 0.2) +
coord_flip()

Actually, there is no need to create a new variable. This also works:ggplot(data = d, aes(x = "1", y = value, fill = value) ) + geom_col(position = position_stack()) + coord_flip()
