Create a Range Bar Chart

Add a Range Bar or Horizontal Range visualization to your workbook.

To create a range bar chart, you need the following columns:
  • An attribute column for the categories on the x-axis (Range Bar) or y-axis (Horizontal Range)
  • A measure column representing the start value for the range
  • A measure column representing the end value for the range

For example, you can create a range bar chart to see the temperature ranges for different regions. You can use measure columns representing low temperatures for the start values and high temperatures for the end values, and an attribute column for the regions.
