It is a stacked bar chart using the "Split by Field" option. However, the app/widget continues to show many more categories over the limit I've set. If I disable the "Split by Field" option, it works as intended. In the <A href="https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/latest/configure-widgets/chart-widget.htm#:~:text=Maximum%20categories%20(available%20when%20you%20choose%20By%20group%20for%20the%20Category%20type)%E2%80%94Specify%20the%20maximum%20categories%20to%20display%20in%20the%20chart." target="_self">Experience Builder documentation</A>, it only says that you must use the "By Group" category type to have this option (which I am).</P><P>I did notice that if I lower the Maximum Categories number, (for example to 5) it <EM>will</EM> show less categories in the chart, but still many more than what I set the maximum number to. In the case of lowering it to 5, it instead shows 14 in the chart (out of 40)</P><P>The settings I'm using are in the table below.&nbsp;Can anyone else reproduce this issue? Is there another undocumented requirement for this setting related to the Split by Field?&nbsp;</P><TABLE border="1" width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD width="50%">Category Type</TD><TD width="50%">By Group</TD></TR><TR><TD>Category Field</TD><TD>Text Field 1</TD></TR><TR><TD width="50%">Statistics</TD><TD width="50%">Count</TD></TR><TR><TD width="50%">Split by Field</TD><TD width="50%">Text Field 2</TD></TR><TR><TD width="50%">Sort by</TD><TD width="50%">Value / Descending</TD></TR><TR><TD width="50%">Maximum Categories</TD><TD width="50%">25</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Fri, 10 Oct 2025 20:54:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/quot-maximum-categories-quot-setting-for-bar-chart/m-p/1657215#M21102 AaronKoelker 2025-10-10T20:54:06Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/quot-maximum-categories-quot-setting-for-bar-chart/m-p/1666453#M21668 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://community.esri.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/254600">@AaronKoelker</a>&nbsp; Thanks for your feedback.
