2 questions on try to plot data as a stacked bar chart

[AA]

First question - I would like to plot data like a stacked barchart, except ggplot seems to only have the y-axis as "count", not based on values.

 

Essentially, I would like to plot my data like the two-color graph on this page: http://docs.ggplot2.org/current/geom_bar.html, entitled "Stacked bar charts".  I want the barcharts to scale to the integer values of my data set (not count).

 

I've attached the example data set that I'm using.

 

Here's the R code that I've tried to use so far:

 

rawdata <- read.csv (file="example_pivot.csv", header=TRUE)

#### look to see what the data looks like
str(rawdata)
head(rawdata)

library(ggplot2)

     
# Stacked bar charts are easy in ggplot2, but not effective visually,

stackedbarchart <- ggplot(rawdata, aes(Person, fill=Status)) + geom_bar() +
    theme(panel.grid.major=element_blank(),plot.background=element_blank(),
        panel.grid.minor=element_blank(),axis.title = element_text(face = "bold",
        size = 12),axis.text = element_text(colour = "black"))
stackedbarchart

Hi:

The magic incantation is 'stat = identity':

#---
DF <- read.csv("example_pivot.csv", header = TRUE)

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(DF, aes(x = Person, y = Budget, fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
theme(panel.grid.major=element_blank(),
plot.background=element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor=element_blank(),

axis.title = element_text(face = "bold", size = 12),
axis.text = element_text(colour = "black"))

#---
