Creating a new bar chart

You can create a new bar chart on the sheet you are editing.

Do the following:

  1. From the panel to the left, drag an empty bar chart to the sheet.
  2. Click Add dimension and select a dimension or a field.
  3. Click Add measure and select a measure or create a measure from a field.

You can add dimensions and measures to the chart in different ways:

From one or more data fields. (The Fields section is not available in a published app.) Creating a new visualization from fields
From master items. Creating a new visualization using master items
From the properties panel. Adding a dimension
Tip noteIf you double-click or drag a measure from the panel on the left-hand side, a bar chart is added on the sheet using the measure. You only need to add a dimension to make the bar chart complete.

When you have created the bar chart, you may want to adjust its appearance and other settings in the properties panel.
