Overview
Application Scenario
Parallel bar charts, also known as partitioned bar charts, are used to display multiple bar charts in one view. Each bar has a consistent thickness for horizontal and vertical comparisons. Parallel bar charts can also be transformed into partitioned column charts.
The following figure shows the comparison of page views, number of visits, and other indicators of an Internet product in the three-level distribution channel.
Basic Requirement
Basic requirements for parallel bar charts are as follows.
| Chart Effect | Dimension Field | Indicator Field |
|---|---|---|
| Column Chart | >=1 | >=1 |
Chart Feature
Advantage: Parallel bar charts clearly compare the differences in data volume of different indicators in the same dimension.
Disadvantage: Parallel bar charts are not suitable for large datasets.
