Bar

Compare values over time or between groups

A bar chart compares values, either over time (one bar per day, for example) or between groups (one bar per version or platform).

Building a bar chart

  • Over time: in Easy mode, set Show to an interval. In Canvas mode, add a Time Group node.
  • By group: in Easy mode, leave Show on Total and pick a Breakdown. In Canvas mode, add a Group By node.

Add more series (or Output nodes) to show several values per bar. See Stacked bar charts.
