Description

The Merged Bar Chart Premium allows you to compare multiple categories in one single chart. This is a great alternative to the more complex scatterplot.

Comparing categories is a common goal of data visualisations. In some cases comparing categories by a single measure (e.g. weight per shipment) is enough. This can be done with any standard bar or column chart. However, this is often not enough. Let’s assume we need another measure (like height) to make the comparison more insightful. Now we have one category (shipment) and two independent measures (weight and height). Because these measures are expressed in different units (pounds vs. inches) we can’t combine them in a single bar/column chart. This is when normally the scatterplot becomes useful.

However, many people find scatterplots hard to read. And it is difficult to expand the number of measures beyond 3 or 4. This is why we created the Merged Bar Chart Premium. This chart can display up to 6 independent measures per category in a comprehensive way. The Merged Bar Chart displays each measure in its own column. It also allows you to sort on any of these columns to investigate possible relations between the measures.
