Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

Learn more about Bar Charts 

In Strategy, you can create beautiful and informative bar charts to analyze data. Also called Bar Graphs, Bar Charts can be vertically or horizontally aligned. The "swap" feature lets you switch axes with just one click of a button. Bar charts consist of rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent. They work well when we want to determine the largest and smallest groups in a dataset, as well as examine differences between intermediate values.
Some potential uses of bar charts:

  • quick analysis of product revenue and top products by Sales (revenue)
  • comparison of players on a sports team according to height or top stats
  • financial analysis comparing profits, revenues, and costs
  • Evaluating traffic for different pages in a website

Bar charts are easy to use, flexible, and allow you to easily compare a wide range of data values. When a user hovers over the data on a bar chart, tooltips are displayed to convey important information and data values.
 
Here are some different Bar Chart types that you might want to get familiar with:
 

  • Clustered Bar Chart
  • Stacked Bar Chart
  • Percent Bar Chart (100%)
