A bar chart (aka bar graph, column chart) plots numeric values for levels of a categorical feature as bars. Levels are plotted on one chart axis, and values are plotted on the other axis. Each categorical value claims one bar, and the length of each bar corresponds to the bar’s value. Bars are plotted on a common baseline to allow for easy comparison of values.

Note: In the Chart Settings, you can set Alt Text (alternative text) to be read aloud to users by screen readers software. Alternative (Alt) Text is meant to convey the “why” of the chart and image as it relates to the content of a document or webpage.
- For existing charts, the alt text will populate with the chart name as a placeholder that can be revised at any time.
- For newly created charts we'll populate the chart type as the default placeholder.
