Worked example
Enter January, 42 / February, 55 / March, 61 / April, 48 / May, 72 with the axis label Sales. The graph shows five blue bars with their values on top, the tallest for May at 72, and downloads as a 1280 x 800 PNG.
When to use this tool
- Comparing monthly sales or scores in a presentation.
- Charting classroom survey counts for homework.
Important limitations
Draws one series of vertical bars; long labels are shortened under the bars.
Frequently asked questions
Can bars go below zero?
Yes. When any value is negative the axis includes zero in the middle and negative bars hang below the zero line.
How is the scale chosen?
The value axis runs from the lowest value (or zero) to the highest, with five evenly spaced grid lines labelled on the left.
My labels are long. What happens?
Labels over 14 characters are shortened with an ellipsis under the bars so they do not overlap. Short labels read best.
Can I make a horizontal or grouped bar chart?
Not yet. This tool draws one series of vertical bars. For several series, draw one chart per series or use a spreadsheet chart.
