Check each time step
Review the displayed numbers, labels, and ranking changes against the source data.
Show ranking changes through time
A bar-chart race updates category bars across successive periods. The movement draws attention to changes in position, while labels and a consistent scale explain the quantities behind the ranking.
Tell a story about changing leaders
Use it when several comparable categories have observations across the same periods. The example animates a country GDP series from 2019 through 2024; treat its figures as illustrative unless independently verified.
Keep the motion faithful to the data
- Keep units comparable. Do not mix currencies, measurement definitions, or reporting periods.
- Distinguish missing from zero. An absent observation does not mean the category had no activity.
- Retain category identity. Use consistent names and colors through every period.
- Explain cumulative totals. A running total tells a different story from a monthly count.
- Review the scale over time. Axis changes can exaggerate or hide changes in value.
Draft a time-based comparison
MyMap can turn your period-by-period values into a chart. Ask to simplify the category set or clarify labels, then inspect the sequence to confirm it tells the intended data story.

Common questions
What data do I need?
Provide values for the same categories across multiple ordered periods. A table with period, category, and value is a clear starting point.
Should I use estimated values?
Only if estimates suit the purpose and are labeled clearly. Do not let a polished animation imply that invented or approximate figures are measured data.
When is a line chart better?
Use a line chart when readers need to compare trends or inspect several dates at once. A race emphasizes changing rank and successive snapshots.
