Check out the below given walk-through on how to use the Group Bar chart component in Designer module.
The Group Bar chart is used to show different sub-categories of the main categories. Each sub-group is represented by a separate bar. Generally, the bars are colored or shaded differently to distinguish between them. Usually, a legend or key is provided to indicate what sub-group is represented through the selected range of shadings/colors. The Group Bar chart can be drawn as both horizontally or vertically depending upon the data to be presented.
Best Situation to use the Group Bar chart
To display data sets containing negative values and multiple sub-categories.
