Troubleshooting: Bar Graph Not Displaying?​

  • Ensure at least one bar with a valid label and numeric value is added.
  • Check that the axis minimums are less than the maximums and that step sizes are positive numbers.
  • Verify that the orientation setting aligns with your data presentation needs.
  • Ensure your browser supports HTML5 Canvas and that JavaScript is enabled.

Best Practices for Effective Bar Charts ​

  • Starting your axis at zero provides an accurate visual comparison.
  • Too many categories can clutter the chart. Aim for clarity by limiting the number of bars.
  • Use colors consistently to represent the same categories across multiple charts.
  • Ensure all axes and bars are clearly labeled for easy interpretation.
