What it is
Grouped Bar Chart places two to four bars side-by-side within each category, sharing a y-axis and a legend. Cleaner than stacked when the absolute values per series matter more than the total.
What it does
Multi-series grouped bars per category with legend, tooltip, theme-aware colors, and cross-filter.
Why use it
Stacked bars compress the smaller series. Grouped bars give every series equal real estate.
Three ways teams use it
Sales
Current vs prior vs plan per region.
Marketing
Spend vs revenue vs leads per channel.
Operations
Volume by shift across multiple sites.
