Grouped Bar Charts

Description

A grouped bar chart displays the data in bar form.

Suitable for

Making comparisons between groups of data, particularly when you want to compare one period of time to another (for example, you could use a bar chart to compare sales per quarter). A grouped bar chart is also a good graphical alternative to a crosstab block.

Keep in Mind

• When you build the query, the measure object is always placed in the Y-axis (i.e. vertical axis) area.
• If you place objects in the subgroup area of the Block panel, you can only use one measure object in the bar chart.
