Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Hi,
I love the "Stacked Bar graph" but I would like to also have a "Side by Side Bar Graph" to better visualize the increment of each category in the Time Mode (for example the Year-Over-Year increase of each expense/income)

I know that there is the "Line Graph" but it is quite messy and not really appalling graphically, is it possible to implement it?

I found an image online of what I have in mind: https://support.workiva.com/hc/article_attachments/360095578051/6-column-bar-combo-charts-5-17-21.jpg

As a side note, it would be also nice to change the order of the various categories displayed.

Thanks

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Teaching and learning

Having a side by side columns of each expense/revenue grouped together in the same Time group (for example each year), would help people better visualize how each category increase or decrease in time
