A column chart is a common data visualization where each category is represented by a rectangle, with the rectangle's height being proportional to the values being plotted.

There are several variations on the column chart:

1. Column Chart
2. Range Column Chart
3. Stacked Column Chart
4. Percent Stacked Column Chart

Here, we'll create and customize each column chart in a Wyn Enterprise dashboard.

A basic Column Chart is used to compare categorical data through the use of vertical bars, where the length of each bar represents the value of the corresponding category.

The Range Column Chart is similar to a column chart where each bar represents the difference between the minimum and maximum values for each category.

From the Wyn Dashboard interface, select the visualizations icon.

• Click and drag the “Range Column Chart” onto the Dashboard canvas.
• With the scenario selected, toggle to the Data Binding tab, select the dataset.
• Once the dataset is successfully loaded in the designer, the data binding panel automatically expands and displays the data attributes available in the dataset.
• Drag and drop the data attributes to the fields in the data binding area of the scenario, the chart plots accordingly, with a default title in the design area.
• Once you are done, you can select the “Inspector” tab and customize the visual settings for the title, color, spacing, grid line, and other options.

The Stacked Column Chart is used to display the relationship of specific items to the whole, across different categories and plot values in two-dimensional vertical rectangles.

This chart stacks the data series in a vertical direction.

From the Wyn Dashboard interface, select the visualizations icon.

• Click and drag the “Stacked Column Chart” onto the Dashboard canvas.
• With the scenario selected, toggle to the Data Binding tab, select the dataset.
• Once the dataset is successfully loaded in the designer, the data binding panel automatically expands and displays the data attributes available in the dataset.
• Drag and drop the data attributes to the fields in the data binding area of the scenario, the chart plots accordingly, with a default title in the design area.
• Once you are done, you can select the “Inspector” tab and customize the visual settings for the title, color, spacing, grid line, and other options.

The Percent Stacked Column Chart is used to perform comparisons of percentages that each of the values are contributing to the total, across all your categories in the spreadsheet.

This chart stacks the data series vertically and also equalizes the plotted values to meet 100%. The plotted values are displayed in two-dimensional rectangles.
