Bar charts are preferable to column charts when using long labels. 100% Stacked Bar charts are useful for comparing the percentage contribution of each value to a total. Bar charts are preferable to column charts when using long labels. 100% Stacked Bar charts are useful for comparing the percentage contribution of each value to a total. Bar charts are preferable to column charts when using long labels. Column charts are useful for comparing values across columns. Column charts are useful for comparing values across columns. Stacked Column charts are useful for comparing the contributions of each value within a column and comparing columns. Stacked Column charts are useful for comparing the contributions of each value within a column and comparing columns. 100% Stacked Column charts are useful for comparing the percentage contribution of each value to a total. 100% Stacked Column charts are useful for comparing the percentage contribution of each value to a total. Stacked area charts are useful for showing trends of the contribution of each value over time or other continuous data. Stacked area charts are useful for showing trends of the contribution of each value over time or other continuous data. 100% Stacked area charts are useful for showing the trends of the percentage contribution of each value over time or other continuous data. 100% Stacked area charts are useful for showing the trends of the percentage contribution of each value over time or other continuous data. Line charts are useful for showing trends of one or more values over time or other continuous data. Line charts are useful for showing trends of one or more values over time or other continuous data. Line charts are useful for showing trends of one or more values over time or other continuous data. Line charts are useful for showing trends of one or more values over time or other continuous data. Stepped Line charts are useful for showing the rise and fall in noncontinuous data. Stepped Line charts are useful for showing the rise and fall in noncontinuous data. Pie and donut charts are useful for showing the contribution of each value to the whole. Pie and donut charts are useful for showing the contribution of each value to the whole. Pie and donut charts are useful for showing the contribution of each value to the whole. Pie and donut charts are useful for showing the contribution of each value to the whole. Gauge charts are useful for comparing values among a small number of variables by using either multiple needles on the same gauge or multiple gauges. Point charts are useful for showing quantitative data in an uncluttered fashion. Point charts are useful for showing quantitative data in an uncluttered fashion. Point charts are useful for showing quantitative data in an uncluttered fashion. Scatter charts are useful for exploring correlations of data points between two different sets of numerical values. Bubble charts are useful for exploring correlations of data points among three different sets of numerical values. The size of the bubble represents the third set of numerical values. Bubble charts are useful for exploring correlations of data points among three different sets of numerical values. The size of the bubble represents the third set of numerical values. Crosstabs are a tabular representation of data. Data is displayed in rows and columns and summarized at the intersection points. List tables are useful for displaying detailed information in a series of columns. Tree maps are useful for visualizing hierarchical data. Color-coded nested rectangles show patterns and exceptions in the data. Combination charts are useful for highlighting relationships between multiple sets of data by using combinations of columns, areas, and lines. Combination charts are useful for highlighting relationships between multiple sets of data by using combinations of columns, areas, and lines. Bullet charts are useful for visualizing a set of values relative to a target set of values. Pareto charts are useful for determining which of a set of categories contribute the most to a measure. Progressive charts are useful for visualizing an accumulation over time. Maps are useful for showing how the values associated to geographical regions compare to each other. Marimekko Charts are useful for showing how two sets of categories contribute to their respective wholes. Radar charts display information around a polar axis, and are useful for analyzing cyclical data.

There is a time dimension on the category axis. There is only one dimension in the data. There is more than one dimension in the data. There are two measures in the data. There are three measures in the data. There is more than one measure in the data. There is only one measure in the data. The data is clearer in a chart without depth. There are only two dimensions in the data. There are only a small number of values in the data. The measures are of different types. The measures are of the same type. This chart is effective at showing the values that make up the total. Chart markers make the data points clearer. The values are averages in the data. The values are sums in the data. The values are percentages in the data. Pie charts show the relative values more clearly. Measures in the legend make it easier to compare the measures. There are two or more values in the data. This data is clearer in a Map without labels.
