How to make grouped bar charts in pandas/Python with crosstab and pivot tables and more

Building grouped bar charts in pandas can be a pain, since you need to understand how .plot() and matplotlib work *AND* get your data formatted correctly first. This video explains how .plot() works, what columns/rows do when plotting, and how to reshape or reorganize your data into a grouped-bar-chart-friendly format - we look at pivot_table, groupby + value_counts + reset_index or unstack, and crosstab. Not in-depth, but probably enough to tackle what you're trying to do!

Hello. Is there any way to adjust the size of the bars?

Hi, how can you add labels to the crosstab bar chart?

Can we use the crosstab data to plot the percent stacked bar chart when we have an entry value 0.

Try using plotly for the grouped data, you are going suffer more. I feel sometimes pandas and plotly has no logic, you keep trying until it works by luck!!
