  • A chart is a graphical representation for data visualization, in which "symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart represent the data

  • Charts are visual expressions of data. Charts vary widely in type and can be used in a number of different fields and real-world applications

Types of Charts

There are nine types of chart

  1. Column Chart

  2. Group Column Chart

  3. Stacked Bar Chart

  4. Stacked Column Chart

  5. Bar Chart

  6. Grouped Bar Chart

  7. Pie Chart

  8. Bullet List

  9. Line Chart

  • Column Chart

    • A column chart is a method of displaying data with categories represented by a rectangle

    • In column charts, categories are typically organized along the horizontal axis and values along the vertical axis

    • Column charts make things easy, immediate, and understandable

  • Group Column Chart

    • The grouped column chart presents quantitative values for categories and additional categorical dimensions

    • This is ideal if you want to give a quick overview of something as you would do with a column chart but add more information with the help of additional columns

  • Stacked Bar Chart

    • A stacked bar chart is a type of bar chart that portrays the compositions and comparisons of several variables through time

    • Stacked charts usually represent a series of bars or columns stacked on top of one another. They are widely used to effectively portray comparisons of total values across several categories

  • Stacked Column Chart

    • Stacked Column Chart comprises several column series stacked vertically, one on another. The length of each series is determined by the value in each data point

    • stacked column chart can display data using rectangular bars where the length of the bar is proportional to the data value

  • Bar Chart

    • A bar chart plots numeric values for levels of a categorical feature as bars. Levels are plotted on one chart axis, and values are plotted on the other axis. Each categorical value claims one bar, and the length of each bar corresponds to the bar's value

    • A bar graph shows comparisons among discrete categories. One axis of the chart shows the specific categories being compared, and the other axis represents a measured value

    • The rectangles drawn on the bar charts are called “bars”

  • Grouped Bar Chart

    • Grouped bar charts are Bar charts in which multiple sets of data items are compared, with a single color used to denote a specific series across all sets

    • Grouped Bar Charts are used when two or more data sets are displayed side-by-side and grouped together under categories on the same axis

  • No labels
