In a vertical bar chart, you select the field for which you want to display values on the X-axis. The Y-axis is used to display the variable values defined by a metric. By default, the metric displayed on the Y-axis is the record count. If you want to display a different value, you can choose a different metric.

## Properties

You can edit the properties of a vertical bar chart in the **Edit vertical bar chart** panel. See the illustration below.
