In this demo, we create a simple column chart by using amCharts.
Follow the steps to add a column chart on a webpage:
Step 1 : Start with a simple basic web page. Add a “div” element with the id “chartdiv”:
<div id="chartdiv"></div>
Step 2 : Adding a reference. Add a reference to the Chart API at amcharts.com.
<!-- Styles -->
<style>
#chartdiv {
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
}
</style>

Step 3 : Add a JavaScript function.
<!-- Chart code -->

var yAxis = chart.yAxes.push(am5xy.ValueAxis.new(root, {

// Create series

}));
series.columns.template.setAll({ cornerRadiusTL: 5, cornerRadiusTR: 5 });
series.columns.template.adapters.add("fill", function(fill, target) {
