Sales by region.

What story this chart tells

The story is rank. The reader should leave with a mental image of which regions dominate, which are the long tail, and roughly how the gap looks. If two regions are nearly tied, that's usually worth a sentence in the speaker notes — close races are interesting; runaway leaders are stable. If the smallest two or three regions add up to less than the largest, consider grouping them as "Other" to keep the chart from rewarding bottom-feeders with their own row.

Adapting it to your data — checklist

• Replace the region names with yours, keeping the longest under about 20 characters for clean labels.
• Use one currency unit and stick to it — millions, thousands, or raw — so the title can read "in millions" cleanly.
• Sort descending unless your audience expects geographical order (e.g., always Americas → EMEA → APAC).
• Pick a single color. A regional chart almost never benefits from one-color-per-region.
• If a region is the headline, color just that bar in your accent color and leave the rest neutral.
• Title the chart with the question it answers, e.g., "Q3 sales by region" rather than "Bar chart of regions".
