FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between a bar chart and a column chart?

  • Solution: In a column chart, categories are on the horizontal axis (arranged horizontally), while in a bar chart, categories are on the vertical axis (arranged vertically). Bar charts are more suitable for scenarios with long category names that require horizontal display, making labels easier to read.

Notes

  1. For long category names, it is recommended to use a bar chart instead of a column chart
  2. Drag the chart border to adjust the overall size
  3. You can also quickly insert a bar chart by click「Chart」button from the「Home」tab
