Example
A bar chart is a chart used to compare grouped data. Each bar represents a subject and its value. The bars span horizontally across the y-axis and display their values along the x-axis, as seen in the example above.
The spreadsheet is made using two sets of values: name of the data being compared + number. The names (see column 1 in the table below) show up as categories along the chart's y-axis. The numbers (see Column 2, 3, and 4 in the table below) form a bar in the chart. Use the table below as a reference on how to format your spreadsheet to create a bar chart.
