FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between a bar chart and a column chart?
- Solution: A bar chart is horizontal, suitable for scenarios with long category names, displaying text more completely; a column chart is vertical, more suitable for displaying time series data.
Q2: How to sort a bar chart by numerical value?
- Solution: In 「General」, set 「Sort By」 to 「By Vertical Axis」 and 「Sort Order」 to 「Descending」 to arrange from largest to smallest.
Q3: Does the bar chart support stacked display?
- Solution: Yes, it does. In the 「Type」 option under 「Basic Configuration」, switch to stacked mode and set the grouping field to display the stacking proportions of different series in the same row.
Notes
- Bar charts are suitable for scenarios with up to 20 categories; too many categories will make the chart excessively long.
- When category names are long, prioritize using bar charts over column charts.
- Chart content will update automatically after the data source is modified.
