Purpose

This guide outlines how to create a bar chart in a View.

Instructions

1. Click the + icon next to the Data tab to display a dropdown with various visualization options and select Bar.

2. The chart settings window opens in a separate tab. Double click on the tab name to rename the chart.

3. Select the data to be shown on X and Y-axis. 

4. Check Aggregate under the Y-axis to aggregate the data in the bar chart. Click on the arrow inside the Aggregation field to choose the function according to which the data will be aggregated.

5. Click Add Series to put additional data in the bar chart. 

6. Each series will be shown in a different color. A legend of colors is displayed below the chart. Click on the color legend to omit a specific series from the chart. Click the series again to include it. Click the series menu icon to remove an unwanted series of data.

7. Click More Options to open additional chart settings. 

8. Options include choosing chart orientation and bar stacking options, displaying bar values on the chart, and manually entering axis labels. Create a stacked bar chart to show different numeric values across multiple data categories. Each bar is divided to the sub-segments, which are stacked together, thus the total value of each category is split into parts.

9. You can also change the color for each series of displayed data.
