Bar Charts are useful for comparing classes, categories, or groups of data. They are one of the most commonly used types of charts because they are simple to create and very easy to interpret.
Variations of this chart:
Add colour for quick insight: Displaying the bars with colours helps users to pay immediate attention to the essential tasks.
Use bar side by side: Where comparison between multiple categories becomes easier instead of toggle between charts.
