A bar chart compares items belonging to a group. The items are organized in Y-axis and the
values of the items are displayed in X-axis. Unlike a
column chart, a bar chart focuses on comparing the
values of items and not on time. For example, you can use a bar
chart to show the comparison of sales values of items for two years and a Column chart to
show the weekly trend of sales for all the items.
