Column

Column Chart is the most common chart type that is used to compare Frequency, Count, Total, or Average of data in different categories. It is ideal for showing variations in the value of an item over time. To render a column series, set series Type as Column.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

<SfChart>
    <ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.Category"/>

    <ChartSeriesCollection>
        <ChartSeries DataSource="@MedalDetails" XName="X" YName="Y" Type="ChartSeriesType.Column">
        </ChartSeries>
    </ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>

@code{
    public class ChartData
    {
        public string X { get; set; }
        public double Y { get; set; }
    }

    public List<ChartData> MedalDetails = new List<ChartData>
	{
        new ChartData { X= "South Korea", Y= 39.4 },
        new ChartData { X= "India", Y= 61.3 },
        new ChartData { X= "Pakistan", Y= 20.4 },
        new ChartData { X= "Germany", Y= 65.1 },
        new ChartData { X= "Australia", Y= 15.8 },
        new ChartData { X= "Italy", Y= 29.2 },
        new ChartData { X= "United Kingdom", Y= 44.6 },
        new ChartData { X= "Saudi Arabia", Y= 9.7 },
        new ChartData { X= "Russia", Y= 40.8 },
        new ChartData { X= "Mexico", Y= 31 },
        new ChartData { X= "Brazil", Y= 75.9 },
