Column and bar charts are among the most
recognizable visualizations for data. Column charts display their data vertically, while bar
charts display the same data horizontally.
Column and bar charts are good for just about every kind of data; however, they tend to
work best when you do not have a large number of variables to display. Drilling down into
your data is easy: just double-click on a column or bar in the report.
