The question this video answers

Which product moved up the rankings each month?

The bars reorder as the values change. This format works when the same items are measured across several periods. Interpolation between months is animation, not additional observations.

Starter input table

This table shows the original example, not your edited preview. Numeric display is rounded; the JSON contains the full input precision.

The wide CSV imports directly into Bar chart race.

Before you publish

  • Give each period its own column and use consistent names for the rows.
  • Choose monthly or cumulative totals and label that choice.
  • Check missing values before importing: a blank is not automatically a measured zero.
