A Column Chart plots data as vertical bars along a standard Cartesian coordinate system — categories on the horizontal X axis and values on the vertical Y axis. It is one of the most common chart types for comparing discrete values across categories.
This basic example shows the revenue in dollars that the top cosmetic products brought to a company. Each column represents one product, with formatted dollar-value tooltips positioned above the bars. Hover mode is set to by-X, so pointing anywhere along a category reveals the tooltip without needing to target the column directly.
Follow the step-by-step Column Chart Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Column Chart documentation for all configuration options.
