How do I choose the most appropriate chart?
If you want to compare values, use a pie chart — for relative comparison — or bar charts — for precise comparison. If you want to compare volumes, use an area chart or a bubble chart. If you want to show trends and patterns in your data, use a line chart, bar chart, or scatter plot.
Which type of chart will be most effective?
Line charts are the most effective chart for displaying time-series data. They can handle a ton of data points and multiple data series, and everyone knows how to read them.
What graph is best for comparing data?
a Bar Graph. Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time.
Which chart type would be a better choice when you have long category labels?
Bar Charts and Column Charts
Bars on a column chart are vertical while bars on a bar chart are horizontal. Bar charts are generally used to help avoid clutter when one data label is long or if you have more than 10 items to compare. They are easy to understand and to create.
