Configuring bar charts
Bar charts are useful for representing one or a few metrics against one or two dimensions. Looker Studio offers different variations of bar charts, including horizontal bars, vertical bars, clustered bars, stacked bars, and 100% stacked bars. You can start with any specific variation and configure the chart appropriately to transform it into a different variation. In this section, you will learn how to configure various types of bar charts using the Call Center data source.
