Hi,

A pie chart is used to represent the shares\frequencies of data points of a particular variable.

A stacked bar chart is a bar chart that divides the bars into shares based on a second categorical variable. that is stacked bar chart is used to show the association of two variables.

so can we conclude that pie chart is for 1 variable while stacked bar chart is for two variable comparison.
