# Bar chart

> Horizontal bar charts rank and compare category values at a glance — configure grouping, multiple Y-axis fields, and sorting to analyze sales, project progress, or customer satisfaction rankings.

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

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.
