This data visualization is commonly used to compare values easily since each column is close to the next allowing you to see which column has the highest or lowest value of the group.
Usage Example
You can use it to create a Leaderboard for most calls made each month. If your company has an established target for the number of calls each rep needs to make, you can add a target in order to see if they have reached it yet.
