The category of the data point on the x-axis.

The value of the data point on the y-axis. This forms the column.

An additional y-axis value for the category in the x-axis.This creates a data set with an extra column.

Note:

You can have as many additional columns as you want to create new data sets. For example, if you were creating a column chart of Olympic medals per country, and had "USA" and "France" in Column 1, you could create three additional columns for "Bronze", "Silver", and "Gold" medal breakdowns.
