With Columns, you can present the information in a clear and straightforward manner for the audience. Column charts are often considered the most effective type of data visualization, as they utilize our natural ability to comprehend height, unlike many other types of visualizations that may necessitate some form of instruction for the viewer to interpret.

Steps To Add a Column Widget

1. In the top right corner of the Reporting Dashboard window, click Add Widget.

2. Clicking Add Widget in the top right corner of the Reporting Dashboard window

3. Enter a Name to display at the top of the widget.

4. Select Column as the Visualization Type.​

5. Select the metrics for which you want to view the reporting. The metrics depend on the type of widget and visualization selected in steps 3-4.

Column charts are also known as vertical bar charts.
