There are two main types of bar charts – single and dual. You can see examples of both below. Whilst both charts show the favourite sports of a group of students, the chart on the right-hand side breaks the data down into boys and girls; there are two bars for each sport. Depending on the type of data you are collecting, you could have more than two bars under each category.
