Problem

Solutions: Column Graph: In presentation and analytical graphics, a graph with vertical columns. Column graphs commonly are used to show the values of items as they vary at precise intervals over a period of time. The x-axis (categories axis) is the horizontal axis, and the y-axis (values axis) is the vertical axis. In practice however, bar graph is used to name both types. In professional presentation graphics, bar graphs are used to display the values of discrete items (apples, oranges, grapefruit, and papaya), and column graphs are used to show the change in one or more items over time (i.e., apples vs. oranges in January, February, March, and so on). Column graphs also should be differentiated from line graphs, which suggest a continuous change over time. Column graphs suggest that the information was obtained at intervals. In this sense, column graphs are more honest that line graphs in some cases, because a line graph suggests that you are making data observations all along instead of periodically.
