Please stop saying this. You have said it eight times but have not shown us your work.
Have you got the data in a form that the chart can use - like a dataset or list with one column with category name and another with the value?
I get what he means: he has 5 tags with realtime values and wants to display them in bars like in his screenshot. I'm just trying to force the xy chart to do this... I haven't used it much
yes absolutely right
In XY Chart it is showing line chart not bar chart how to change this one as bar chart?
I have no idea how to use the XY chart in column mode... there's nothing in the user manual for it (that I can find at least) 
Very confusing
Please can you help me for this?
Time Series Chart has Bar chart option
https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Time+Series+Chart
Can't use timeseries - it's not time-based

In XY Chart there is no option to change bar i have tried this now
There is
The code word for 'bar' is 'column.'
i have changed to column, but it is displaying horizontal bar chart not vertical bar chart
Edit: Woops wrong topic
I want Vertical bar chart not horizontal
Paste the code below into your view in the Project Browser.

ok
Do the opposite of this:
How would you do multiple colours though?
