Bar Chart vs. Column Chart: What’s the Difference?

Both charts display data using bars, but they serve different purposes:

• Bar Chart (Horizontal): Best for categories with long labels.
• Column Chart (Vertical): Ideal for time-series comparisons.

Stacked Bar Chart vs. 100% Stacked Bar Chart

A stacked bar chart shows cumulative data within categories, while a 100% stacked bar chart highlights proportional differences.
