Throughout the following example, we are going to use Google Analytics data. To use a bar chart for another data source, just change the data source in the bottom-right corner.

Create a bar chart

Click on the bar chart Widget icon on the left-hand menu

Click on the Widget

On the right-hand side, you’ll see the settings for your Widget. Once on the Data tab, select a Dimension by clicking on the “List” button

Select the appropriate dimension in the list. Let’s pick “Week (cross-API)”

Now, let’s select a Metric by clicking on the “List” button

Select the appropriate metric in the list. Let’s pick “Sessions”

Go to the “Display” tab to change the widget formatting
