About Column Chart

A column chart is a statistical chart that uses vertical bars to compare numerical values across different categories. The most basic column chart requires one categorical variable and one numerical variable. In a column chart, each entity of the categorical variable is represented as a rectangle (commonly called a "bar"), and the numerical value determines the height of the bar.
