WHY USE A DEVIATION BAR CHART?
Deviation bar charts are an effective way to show how data differs from a starting point or a benchmark. Instead of mapping the original (actual) data points, it depicts the differences between two sets of data. By using bars that extend above or below (or to the right or left of) a central baseline, the charts highlight variations, making it easy to see how much each value is greater or lesser than the central point.
