Best Answer

A broken bar graph is used when one value, or a few values, goes up very high. Instead of scaling everything down, the abnormally high value is indicated with the broken bar graph. Of course, a number also has to be indicated, so that anybody who reads the bar graph can find out what the number actually is.
