FAQ
Grouped Bar Chart Maker questions
- What is the difference between a grouped and a stacked bar chart?
- Grouped bars sit side by side and share a baseline, so individual values are easy to compare. Stacked bars sit on top of each other, which shows the total but makes the inner segments hard to read.
- How many series should I group?
- Two or three works well. Beyond four the groups get crowded and a small-multiples layout or a line chart usually reads better.
- Can I switch to stacked layout?
- Yes — toggle stacking in the Style panel and the same data redraws as a stacked bar chart.

Import formats
Paste from anything
- CSV to ChartPaste raw CSV text or drop a .csv file. Delimiters, quoted fields and header rows are detected automatically.
- Excel to ChartSelect cells in Excel, press Ctrl+C, then paste here. Copied spreadsheet cells arrive as tab-separated values, which FastChart reads natively.
- JSON to ChartPaste an array of objects, an array of numbers, or a flat key–value object. Keys become series and values become data points.
- Markdown Table to ChartGreat for tables produced by ChatGPT, GitHub READMEs or Notion. Pipes and the separator row are handled for you.
- TSV to ChartTab-separated values are what your clipboard holds after copying from a spreadsheet or a database client. Paste them straight in.
- Google Sheets to ChartGoogle Sheets charts are hard to style and hard to export cleanly. Copy the range instead and get an export-ready chart here.
