A bar chart shows values as horizontal lengths, so this format can be good for
comparing distance or time. Use a bar chart when you have a summary report with a single
grouping, or you only want to display one grouping.

For example, to see the amount in each sales stage in a report,
select Sum of Amount as the X-axis and
Stage as the Y-axis. The chart displays one bar
for each stage, with the length proportional to the total opportunity amount.
The advantage of the horizontal bar charts is that the chart can be extended vertically to
show numerous groupings, though the width is fixed. Depending on chart settings, you can also
display Chatter photos.
- Grouped Bar Charts
Use a grouped bar chart when you have multiple groupings, and you want to compare values within a secondary grouping, but not the totals.
- Stacked Bar Charts
Use a stacked bar chart when you have multiple groupings and are interested in the proportions between values in each grouping, as well as each grouping's total.
- Bar Charts Stacked to 100%
Use a bar chart stacked to 100 percent when you have multiple groupings and are interested in the proportions between values in each grouping, as well as each grouping's total.
