[Datawrapper] How to make a grouped bar chart

A grouped bar chart is the most basic profiling visualization.

Design notes

  • “Do you agree/disagree with the following sentences?” This is a common question in surveys. If you need to transcribe the whole sentence and use it as a label it will take up too much space to the left of the bars and in general make your chart look ugly. Placing the labels above the corresponding bar is an elegant way of solving this problem.
  • Sort by one of the categories.
  • Sort categories by overall relative size, unless categories are ordinal (this case) or your message requires a specific sorting key.
