---

Purpose & Application

A barchart shows comparisons among categories.

📝 For example, I want to analyze the basket size profile of my customers.

Hint

Use the barchart for time series when individual observations are more important than pattern detection or distribution.

Keep it simple, do not go over 3 KPIs at once.

Key Features

• Mobile first: units available in the legend to optimize mobile view

• Scrollable and automatic zoom/de-zoom for a better user experience

• Add groups to go deeper in your analysis

For example, I want to compare movies’ budget by type for this year and last year.

• Add a heat bar to see variation and evolutions for different categories

For example, I want to compare countries’ revenue and see if they are performing better than last year.
