How do you make a pyramid chart?

There are many different ways to create pyramid charts, and the method you choose will depend on the type of data you want to visualize and the layout you want to achieve. In this section, we will outline three different methods for creating pyramid charts: by column, by row, and by percentage.

To create a pyramid chart by column, you will need to arrange your data in a table with two columns: the first column will list the categories and the second column will list the corresponding data points. To create a pyramid chart by row, you will need to arrange your data in a table with one column and as many rows as you have data points. To create a pyramid chart by percentage, you will need to arrange your data in a table with two columns: the first column will list the categories and the second column will list the corresponding percentage data points.

Compare and contrast your data.
