by suresh

The Tableau Grouped Bar Chart, also called side-by-side bars, is very useful to compare data side by side visually. In this article, we will show you how to create a Grouped Bar Chart in Tableau with an example.

For this Tableau Grouped Bar Chart demo, we are going to use the Sample – Superstore Data Source.
