Similar to Sparkline charts, Sparkbar charts are small, lightweight charts that typically do not have axis. They’re a quick and amazing way of visualising your data, without needing the complexity of a full blown chart.
They can be created in 5 easy steps!
Step 1 | Drag the fields you want into the view.
