About this tool
Draw signed horizontal bars around zero to compare direction and magnitude across series. Use categories followed by numeric series; for example Item,Gain,Cost with negative costs. Check which side of zero each bar occupies; multiple series are grouped within categories. Data and charts are processed in your browser and can be exported as PNG, SVG or CSV. Examples are illustrative.
How to use
- Use categories followed by numeric series; for example Item,Gain,Cost with negative costs.
- Set the title, palette, background and value labels, then generate the chart.
- Check which side of zero each bar occupies; multiple series are grouped within categories. Compare the data table before downloading the image or CSV.
Frequently asked questions
Are negatives converted to absolute values?
No. Signs are preserved and determine bar direction. The chart does not normalize values or turn them into percentages.
Which inputs are rejected?
Headers must be nonempty and unique, and numeric cells cannot be empty. Up to 1000 rows and 12 numeric series are supported; single-series and specialized charts have further column rules. Administrators may lower the row limit.
Does editing automatically update the chart?
Generate again after edits. Old results are cleared to avoid exporting a chart for stale input. Value labels are hidden above 40 rows; full data remains in the table and CSV.
