Why is there extra data in my graph?

Basically, I have this code.

fig = groupsummary(eventsTOP,"Event_Type","none")
x =fig.Event_Type; y = fig.GroupCount;
bar(x,y)

Where "fig" is a table that I extract from a larger table ("eventsTOP") that is already filtered with the data I want.

The table "fig" has the following data:

Event_Type GroupCount

As you can see there are 18 Event_Type, but when it comes to plotting it, this happens.

I have more data than I really want to use, and I don't understand where it comes from if I'm using the fig table as a reference.

I just want to use the 18 data I have.

[VBBV]

x =fig.eventsTOP.Event_Type; y = fig.eventsTOP.GroupCount;  %
bar(x,y)

check the above, may be you need to access the table eventsTOP first and then its variables Event_Type and GroupCount

[VBBV]

or use this option

fig = groupsummary(eventsTOP,["Event_Type","GroupCount"],"none","IncludeEmptyGroups",false) %use this option
x =fig.Event_Type; y = fig.GroupCount;
bar(x,y)
