Set up either horizontally or vertically, this format can be good for comparing distance or time (horizontal) or showing relative counts of things (vertical). There are a few different types of bar charts - take a look at the examples below to see how the same data set can be displayed in multiple ways.

• Horizontal Bar Charts - Single value (1) or grouped (2)
• Vertical Bar Charts - Single value (3) or grouped (4)
• Stacked Bar Charts (5): Use a stacked bar chart (you can choose horizontal or vertical stacking) when you have multiple groupings and are interested in the proportions between values in each grouping, as well as each grouping's total.
• Bar Chart Stacked to 100% (6): Similar to a stacked bar chart, rather than stacking to record count of the data you're looking at, it will stack to 100% and show you the relevant breakdown of your data categories within the whole.

Line charts are good for showing changes in the value of an item over a series of points in time, such as week to week or quarter to quarter. You can look at a single value (1) over time or group values (2) to compare changes over time.

Use a donut chart when you have multiple groupings and want to show the proportion of a single value for each grouping against the total and the total amount itself.

Use a funnel chart when you have multiple groupings in an ordered set and want to show the proportions among them.

Use scatter charts to show meaningful information using one or two groups of report data plus summaries.
