Group Column

Check out the below given walk-through on how to use the Group Column chart component in Designer module.

A group column chart (clustered column chart, stacked column chart) extends the column chart, plotting numeric values for levels of two categorical variables instead of one. Columns are grouped by position for levels of one categorical variable, with color indicating the secondary category level within each group.

Best Situation to use the Group Column chart

To compare various relative values based on a common parameter

Example

If you want to compare your region-wise sales for 2012. A Column chart can easily facilitate that comparison. The Stacked/group chart is beneficial as it can facilitate both comparisons as well as part-to-whole relationship.
