Chart Configuration Step-by-Step

	Option	How does it work?
Category
	Bar category	The bar category corresponds to a column in your dataset, such as 'Product Type'.
	Category by bars	Organizes bars into separate categories or groupings, allowing segmented ranking.
	Enable drill-down	Allows users to click on a bar to explore more detailed or related data.
	Show rank for bars	Displays a numeric rank for each bar based on its value position.
Value
	Bar height	The bar height represents a value from your dataset. You can select an aggregation method from the menu, which may vary depending on the chart type.
	Precision	Precision determines the level of detail in how your values are displayed. By default, measures use a .2f format, meaning they are shown with two decimal places. Example: A value of 3.14159 will be displayed as 3.14 when using .2f formatting.
	Unit	Unit represents the total quantity or category being measured for a KPI. It defines what the values correspond to, providing context for better interpretation.
	Sentiment	Four different sentiment statuses (positive, warning, negative, neutral) can be used to color bars, enhancing visual distinction. Note: Sentiments can be customized in the app theme.
	Reverse height order	Inverts the direction of bar heights, so lower values appear higher or vice versa.
Additional parameters
	ID	Unique chart Id
	Add complementary value	The complementary value is displayed in the data label, providing additional context and making it easier for viewers to interpret the data at a glance. It is possible to add a precision, an unit and a sentiment.
	Add user chart guide	Lead your chart viewers through the narrative of your data.
