Configure column chart

Column charts displays data along two axes — the vertical axis or Y-axis and the X-axis or the horizontal axis. These charts are helpful in finding trends over time periods by using different colors to represent the collected data.  Stacked column charts  allow part-to-whole comparisons over time, or across other categories, whereas the  stacked percentage column chart  enables you to quickly check a specific percentage of the overall data. Configuring the column chart includes setting values for the x and y axes.
