Use case

Bar Chart Maker workflow

Bar Chart Maker is for category comparisons and rankings. It works with traffic channels, acquisition mix, and conversion signals, adds Top N ranking, horizontal toggle, and axis label audit, and keeps the preview, checks, and exports tied to the data you entered.

From input to export

  1. Start with the traffic sample or paste your own CSV, Excel, Manual data.
  2. Sort the categories by the metric that matters.
  3. Use the audit panel to catch missing labels and long category names.
  4. Export Bar chart, PNG, SVG after the checks explain any remaining context or readability issues.

When to use

  • Use Bar Chart Maker when you need to compare ranked categories.
  • It is a good fit for category comparisons and rankings.
  • It works best when your data resembles traffic channels, acquisition mix, and conversion signals.

When not to use

  • Do not use this workflow for continuous trends where a line chart is clearer.
  • Do not publish the result until title, unit, source, and export size have been reviewed.
  • Use another chart preview when the recommendations explain a better fit.

Controls that matter

  • Sort categories by the selected metric.
  • Use Top N for long category lists.
  • Switch labels on when the values are close.

Input and method

  • The parser normalizes rows into a browser-side table and never requires an account.
  • Field detection classifies traffic channels, acquisition mix, and conversion signals into number, date, category, or text fields.
  • The chart logic checks bar fit against the detected fields and the current page task.
  • The score combines data readiness, field mapping, chart fit, labels, accessibility, and bar chart export readiness.

Checks before export

  • Using Bar Chart Maker with data that is better suited to continuous trends where a line chart is clearer.
  • Exporting before adding a clear title, unit, or source note.
  • Ignoring the page limit: this workflow is not intended for continuous trends where a line chart is clearer.
  • Treating the score as approval instead of reviewing the specific fixes.

Export options

  • PNG and SVG exports use the current bar chart preview and selected size.
  • Markdown and mini report exports include title, source note, detected fields, score, and fixes.
  • HTML, JSON config, clean CSV, and alt text are available from the secondary export panel when data is valid.

Output limits

  • Very large datasets should be summarized before using this browser-side tool.
  • Avoid this workflow for continuous trends where a line chart is clearer.
  • Image-only chart recognition, cloud storage, and collaborative editing are not part of this version.
  • Generated summaries should be reviewed before publication.
