<div id="myChart" style="max-width:700px; height:400px"></div>- Add a link to the charts loader:
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>- Load the Graph API, and add the function to run when the API is loaded:
<script>
google.charts.load('current',{packages:['corechart']});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
// Your Function
function drawChart() {
...
}
</script>Bar Charts

function drawChart() {
// Set Data
const data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Contry', 'Mhl'], ['Italy', 55], ['France', 49], ['Spain', 44], ['USA', 24], ['Argentina', 15]
]);

const options = {
