A bar chart compares numeric values and ranks across categories — horizontal bar length shows size and order. Great for category sales, project progress, or customer satisfaction rankings — quickly identify leaders/laggards and analyze category differences.

Add a bar chart

In the upper-left, click Add chart. Pick Bar chart.

Configure the bar chart

Configure type/data and custom style: Data: pick source — table and data range. All data enables filters. Chart: switch chart type, pick a color theme. Y-axis: pick the Y field, sort basis (by Y value, X value, or record order), and order. Sort basis details: Y value: sort by the Y field’s value — numeric, alphabetical, single/multi-select option order, etc. X value: sort by X numeric value. Record order: sort by record order in the source view. X-axis: aggregation (count of records or aggregated field value), Y content, and group aggregation. With “count of records”: only set group aggregation (none or by field). With “aggregated field value”: no grouping → multiple Y fields, each with its own aggregation (count, sum, average, max, etc.). Remove/move up/down per Y. Grouping → one Y field with one aggregation. Note: with grouping, X can’t sort by Y value. Note: sum, max, min, average only apply to numeric fields. Custom style: background color, legend position, value display, gridlines, axis labels, overlap settings, axis visibility, axis baselines, axis-tick labels — all configurable.
