Hi Ulrik, your answer is very valuable to me. If you do not know what I do, others don't either. So I should definitely adapt my code.
The result of your code and my code is the same. Thus, I use your code cause it is better readable. My other question was how I can change the color palette for the stacked bars. Could you give me a hint where I need to look in ggplot2 documentation?

I need to present the results as stacked bar charts where the variables are columns and the percentages of the scales values (1 .. 4) are the chunks of the stacked bar for each variable. To do this I have transformed my data from wide to long and calculated the percentage for each variable and value. The code for this is as follows: -- cut -- dfr <- structure( list( v07_01 = c(3, 1, 1, 4, 3, 4, 4, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4), v07_02 = c(1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 1), v07_03 = c(3, 2, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 2, 3), v07_04 = c(3, 1, 1, 4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1, 4), v07_05 = c(1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 4), v07_06 = c(1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3), v07_07 = c(3, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4), v07_08 = c(3, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 2, 4), cased_id = structure( 1:20, .Label = c( "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20" ), class = "factor" ) ), .Names = c( "v07_01", "v07_02", "v07_03", "v07_04", "v07_05", "v07_06", "v07_07", "v07_08", "cased_id" ), row.names = c(NA, -20L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame") ) mdf <- melt(df) d_result <- mdf %>% dplyr::group_by(variable) %>% count(value) ggplot( d_result, aes(variable, y = n, fill = value)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") + coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0,100)) -- cut -- Is there an easier way of doing this, i. e. a way without need to transform the data? How can I change the colors for the data points 1 .. 4? I tried -- cut -- d_result, aes(variable, y = n, fill = value)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") + coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0,100)) + scale_fill_manual(values = RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(4, "Blues")) -- cut - but this does not work cause I am mixing continuous and descrete values. How can I change the colors for the bars?
