Why it matters
When to use a bar chart
Comparing or ranking discrete categories, especially when labels are long or many categories need to remain readable.
Avoid a bar chart for continuous time trends, part-to-whole relationships with only a few slices, or relationships between two numeric variables.

Aggregation you can review
Specify sums, averages, counts, rates, time intervals, and filters so the values behind the visual remain inspectable.
Editable reporting output
Refine titles, labels, colors, annotations, and chart type, then reuse the visual in a dashboard or report.
