hi ccianci 

what context do you have for the ribbon chart? could you make a screenshot?

Here's a screenshot.  First image is the matrix view and the 2nd image is the same data in a ribbon chart.

I highlighted (in yellow) the top 3, which is because over the 4 week period, the sum of those 3 are the highest and that makes sense why the ribbon would show those 3.  The problem is where I highlighted in red.  Week 12 has "hardware" surpassing "software/applications" but it's not in the top 3 because of the overall sum is less than the others.

 

for further context:

x-axis is "year & week"

y-axis is "count of subcategory"

legend is "subcategory"
