Bar Chart

Use the Bar Chart widget in NocoDB dashboards to compare values across categories. It is good for showing trends, distributions, or comparisons between groups.

Title & Description

• Title: Enter a title for the bar chart widget. The title shows at the top of the widget.
• Description: Optional. Add a description that gives context or details about the data. The description shows below the title.

Data Source

• Table: Select the table that supplies the data for the bar chart.
• Records: Select the records to include:
  • All Records: Shows all records from the selected table.
  • Records from a view: Uses the records of a specific view. The existing filters and sorts of the view apply.
  • Specific Records: Uses custom filters to select only some records.

Display

X-axis

• Field: Select the field whose values show as categories along the X-axis (for example, Product, Region, Status).
• Sort By: Select how to sort the categories:
  • xAxis Value: Sorts by the label values.
  • yAxis Value: Sorts by the numeric values in the chart.
• Order: Select Default, Ascending, or Descending order.
• Include empty records: Optional. Includes categories that have no values.
• Include others: Puts small or extra categories into one “Others” group. This makes the chart easier to read.

Y-axis

• Fields: Select one or more fields that set the bar lengths. To compare fields, add more than one field.
• Field Summary: Shows the Sum, Average, Min, or Max of a numeric field.
• Start at zero: Makes the Y-axis always start at zero. Then you can compare bar heights more accurately.
