How to Use
- 1
Open a sample
Monthly Revenue opens as a single-series column chart, Budget vs Actual and Product Comparison open clustered, and Channel Mix opens stacked. Start from the closest one.

Click the chart title, a category label, or a series name and type over it. Add or remove categories as you need.
- 3
Set the values
Drag a column (or one segment of a stacked column) up or down to set its value, or select it and type the exact number.
- 4
Choose clustered or stacked
Clustered columns put each series side by side for comparison; stacked columns pile the series into one column to show each total and its parts. Switch any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clustered column chart?
It is the column chart Excel calls "clustered": each category gets one column per series, side by side, so you can compare, say, budget against actual for every quarter. Pick the Grouped layout here to make one.
How do I make a stacked column chart?
Choose the Stacked layout or the Channel Mix sample. Each column becomes the total for its category, split into colored segments for each series, and you can drag a single segment to change just that part.
Can I make a column chart without Excel?
Yes. Build it directly on the page: name the categories, drag or type the values, and download. There is nothing to install and no workbook to set up.
Can I match the colors to my brand?
Yes. With one series, every column can have its own color; with several series, each series gets a color you choose. Style packs restyle the whole chart in one click.
Is this column chart maker free?
Yes. Making and downloading PNGs is free, with no signup and no watermark. Pro adds HD 2x to 4x, SVG, and MP4 exports.
