Bar chart

Create bar charts for category comparisons and rankings in BeCharts.

Back to Chart types.

Bar charts are ideal for comparing values across categories, showing rankings, and visualizing grouped or stacked series. For a guided maker page with templates, FAQs, and export options, see the bar chart maker.

Data format

  • Recommended: dataset.dimensions + dataset.source
  • Typical shape: first column is category, remaining columns are numeric series

Example dimensions:

  • ['category', 'value']

Import and edit support

  • Import: ✅ (CSV / Excel / Paste / Google Sheets)
  • Edit: ✅ (table editor)

Customize highlights

  • Series: bar width/gap, grouped vs stacked, border radius, labels, MarkPoint/MarkLine
  • Axes: category axis label density, value axis scaling
  • Grid: spacing to avoid label clipping

Tips

  • Use sorting to make rankings easier to read.
  • Prefer stacked bars when the “part-to-whole” story matters across categories.
