Column Charts

For example, to see the number of leads by lead source in a report, set record count as the Y-axis and source as the X-axis. The chart displays one column for each source, with the height proportional to the total number of leads. The width of column charts is constrained by dashboard column size and report chart size. Horizontal bar charts may be better for large numbers of groupings. Column charts are good when showing values by date, since dates traditionally run along the X-axis.

1. Grouped Column Charts
   Use a grouped column chart when you have multiple groupings, and you want to compare values within a secondary grouping, but not the totals.
2. Stacked Column Charts
   Use a stacked column chart when you have multiple groupings and you’re interested in the proportions between values in each grouping, as well as each grouping's total.
3. 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.
4. Column Chart Stacked to 100 Percent
   Use a column 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.
