Hi, I'm new to Kibana / Elastic service and trying to create a bar chart.

I have 2 fields that store the number of storage capacity.

What I'm trying to achieve here is that I wanted to display the bar separately. But somehow I was unable to separate the bar and they stacked together. I have a Status field, but it is not something I wanted to show in the chart. The X axis is also unable to display the title that shows in the legend as well.

I'm using lens and I also tried aggregation based Vertical bar, but somehow aggregation is unable to set the condition for each bar. Appreciate it if someone could point out what have I done wrong here.

Hi @Liam619 Welcome to the community.

I think you just need to use plain `Bar vertical` not `Bar vertical stacked`
