Hi,  
I would like to create a grouped bar chart i Canvas. In Kibana - Visualize it is possible to create group bar chart using Buckets - Split series. How is it possible to achieve the same result in Canvas?

Thanks for your help.  
Caterina

I'm not sure that this is possible the way you are looking for, however it is possible to stack the bars by going into the expression editor and changing to `{seriesStyle stack=true}`.

Thanks for your reply.  
Actually, I do not want to stack the bars, I want them on the side of each other, see attached picture:

I don't think the chart library that is used by Canvas supports this. Your best option is to create your visualization using Lens or the Horizontal Bar chart in Visualize, and embed that into Canvas.

I suspected so. I have already created such chart in Visualize and added it into Canvas. When I try to export Canvas as pdf, the chart is not visualized. But this is another issue.  
Anyway, thanks again for your help.
