So what is a bar chart? A bar chart, or a bar graph, organises data and information into a graph using bars of different lengths. The length of these bars is proportional to the size of the information they represent.

To read a bar chart, consider the length of the bar connected to each category to find its value. Overall, there are many reasons why we use bar charts to organise our data. One reason is that they make it really easy to compare different categories.

What are the different types of bar charts or bar graphs?

This video will talk you through the 5 main types of bar charts: vertical, horizontal, stacked, grouped, and clustered stacked. It will also give you examples of the different types of bar charts.
