How to create a Vertical Overlapping Bar chart

A Vertical Overlapping Bar chart lets you easily compare two categories of data by overlaying one bar on top of another.

Step 1: Select the Chart Type

  • From the Explore Data tool, navigate to the Build Your Chart step.

  • Under the Type tab, choose Vertical Overlapping Bar from the Vertical Bar section.

Note: This chart type is only available when:

  • Two categories are present in the legend.

  • A single chart table is selected for visualisation in the Chart tab.

  • The chart table is a non-calculation type.

 

 

Step 2: Configure the Legend

  • Go to the Chart tab.

  • Select up to two categories for the Legend Variable in the Legend Categories dropdown.

  • By default, the first two available categories will be displayed. 

Note: The legend supports a maximum of two categories for this chart type.
