How to make a bar graph on Google Sheets

1. Go to sheets.google.com and open your spreadsheet, or sheets.new if you want to create a new spreadsheet and enter your data.

2. Select the data you want to include in the bar graph by clicking the first cell and then holding the “shift” key on your Mac or PC keyboard while clicking the last cell.

3. In the top toolbar, select “Insert” and then “Chart.”

4. In the pop-up chart menu, under “Chart Type” select the dropdown.

5. Scroll down to the “Bar” section and select the bar chart that best fits your data.

You can also further customise your chart in that pop-up menu, including aggregating your data, changing the data range and switching the rows and columns, if applicable.
