Create beautiful bullet bars in Datawrapper

Group them, color them, and customize them to your needs.

Show your data perfectly with our flexible design options.

As soon as you upload your data, you will see a beautiful bullet bar chart – but every data set is different, and we want to help you communicate it best.

Sorting your bars differently? Changing the position of your axis ticks? Separating your bars by lines? It’s all possible. Just click around until you’re happy.

Group bars together easily.

Especially if you have lots of bars in your chart, it can make sense to bring some order into your bars by grouping them – for example, by location or rating. Simply add a column with a different category, then click “Group by”.

Responsive
Like all Datawrapper visualizations, our maps look beautiful on desktop devices, tablets, and smartphones.
Colorblind check

Flexible number formats
Want to show 3,200,000 as 3.2m? Or 0.3760483 as 0.38? Or 32.1 as 32%? Do so with two clicks.
