What is a 100% stacked time series graph?

The 100% stacked time series graph is a variant of the time series graph. Like the name suggests, the total area of the chart corresponds to 100%, with each data point representing a proportion of the total value. Data is plotted over a chronological axis, and is best suited for when you want to observe your categories as part of a whole or to see proportional trends over time.
