How to make a clustered bar chart in Google Slides.

A clustered (grouped) bar chart places bars for each series side by side within a category. It's the natural way to compare plan vs. actual, this year vs. last, or two segments across groups.

1
Insert a ChartKit clustered bar
Pick Clustered Bar; series sit side by side with labels and an attached legend on by default.
2
Edit and highlight on the slide
Type your data in the grid, apply your palette, and colour the winning series or add a delta to make the comparison land.
