A bar chart is helpful when representing data categories. It uses rectangular bars to signify numerical values of different groups.

Some bar chart use cases include:

  • You can use bar charts to show the changes in sales performance, traffic, conversion, chart addition, and more over time. Bar charts are best used when the changes between each category are obvious.

  • You can use bar charts to compare data across multiple categories.

How to Add a Bar Chart to your Dashboard

  • From within your dashboard, click on Manage Dashboard icon at the top-right.

  • Under Charts, click on the bar chart icon.

General Section

The first part is the general, where you enter a title and description for the bar chart.

  • For instance, if you want to track weekly active users, the title can be active users.

For the description, enter a detailed description that helps you understand what the tile is all about (active users in this case).

Data section

The data section is where you choose the type of data you want to display on the line chart.

View (Select View)

A view is a predefined query modeled to simplify your reporting. What event/data do you want to display on the chart?

  • Since we want to track weekly active users, the view would be sessions.

  • Clicking on open view details will open the dictionary where you can find what the view is all about and the associated values.

Value (Select a Measure)

What subdata or measure do you want to track/display on the line chart?

  • From the dropdown of values, we’ll choose 7 Days Active Users.

Bar charts allow trending multiple values. So we can also add more values. So we can add other values like hits and visitors.

  • Hence the bar chart will be tracking the 7 days active users, hits, and visitors to the site.

Breakdown (Select a Breakdown Dimension):

  • Since we are tracking weekly active users, we’ll breakdown by ‘days of week’.

Date Range

  • Since we are tracking weekly active users, we’ll select ‘Last full 7 days’ as our date range.

Compare

  • Let’s compare our data from the last 7 days to the same date last month.

Filter Section

Is there any specific set of data you do not want to display? Do you want to only visualize specific data or data for a particular date?

Options Section

The option section is where you select the type of bar chart you want and how you want the data to be displayed.

Bar or column

  • Bar

This displays the bar charts vertically from top to bottom.

  • Column

This displays the bar chart horizontally, from left to right.

Limit Max Items

  • You can choose the number of items to display on the bar chart. This is very useful when covering a long period.

Sort

How do you want to display the data? There are several dimensions to sort your data.

  • You can also choose to show it in an ascending or descending order.

Look and Feel

This section allows you to control the size of the line chart. There are several predefined sizes you can choose from including unset, small, default, default wide, wide small, wide and full width.

  • If we choose wide, our bar chart will look like this.

The bar chart creation window should pop up. (This is where you set the specifics you want to display on the bar chart). It’s also where you if you want to change any of its element.

The bar chart window is not too different from what we’ve discussed under

Do you want to segment the event(s) to learn more about them? By default, the is by date. However, you can break down your tile by week, hour, and other dimensions like page URL, referrer, etc.

What date range do you want to track with the bar chart? Set a start and finish date, so the date range is the time in between. You can either choose a predefined date range or enter a custom .

Do you want to compare the data from that from the previous period? There are several predefined including previous period, previous week same day, previous year. You can also select a custom comparison period.
