Bar chart
Compare values across categories using vertical bars.
Recommended configuration
- Associate a saved data source from the Data and view section.
- Choose a hierarchy or a category field and select only the measures to display.
- Configure formats, legend, series colours and chart style in the dedicated sections.
Configuration options
| Area | Options |
|---|---|
| Data | Data source, drill-down hierarchy or category field and measures to display. |
| Values | Format, decimals, locale, currency and dimension label format. |
| Chart | Legend, series colours, initial ordering and direction. |
| Interaction | No action, filter, drill-down or drill-down with filter; target widgets and filter removal on second click. |
| Identity | Title, Subtitle, header visibility, type icon and action button. |

| Appearance | Background, background image, border, radius, padding, shadow and typography for different areas. |

Best practices
- The first column is normally used as a dimension; subsequent columns become series.
tip
Always verify the widget in Preview, in both light and dark themes and with an empty data state before publishing the View.
