Pro Tips

Sort bars from most positive to most negative to create a visually compelling narrative about performance ranking.
Use a single accent color for negative bars (like red) to draw attention to problem areas without distracting from the overall story.
Add a chart title that names the metric and time period (e.g. 'Q1 2025 Revenue Growth by Region') so the chart stands alone in any report.
