What Is A Column Chart?

A Column chart is a graph used to show data points on a two-dimensional plane. 
A Column chart uses a combination of x and y axes to display data points. Each point on the chart represents a data item.

How To Make One

If you’re looking to make a Column chart, there are several ways to do so. You can use an online graphing program like Google Sheets or Excel. Or, you can download a free software package called R. Once you have downloaded R, you will need to install it first. Then, open up R and load the library “ggplot2”. Next, you will need to import some data into R.

What Does It Show?

After importing the data, you will need to specify the chart you want to create. In this case, we will create a Bar chart, which means that we will plot two variables against each other.

How To Interpret The Data

Once you have specified the type of chart you wish to create, you will need to choose how to display the data. You can either use a bar chart or a line chart. Bar charts are usually easier to read than line charts because they only require one axis. 
Line charts are more difficult to read because they require both an x and y-axis.
