How to Make a Column Chart in Google Sheets
Column charts use vertical bars to compare values across categories. In Google Sheets, you build one with **Insert** → **Chart** and confirm the type is **Column chart**.
Lay out the data
- Put category labels in column A and values in column B.
- Add a header row so the chart picks up clean labels (e.g. Month / Revenue).
Insert and pick the column type
- Select the data range including headers.
- Go to Insert → Chart.
- In the Chart editor → Setup, set Chart type to Column chart (vertical). Bar chart is horizontal—pick deliberately.
Customize the look
- Customize → Series to change column color and add data labels.
- Customize → Vertical axis to set min/max so small differences don''t look flat.
- Customize → Chart & axis titles to add a clear title.
Compare multiple series
Add more value columns (C, D, …) before inserting—each becomes its own column color in a clustered chart. Switch to Stacked or 100% stacked in Setup if you want totals.
Try it faster with guidance
