How I Made this Cluster Bar Chart with Bar Comparison Lines
Here is the market cap data I used to create the cluster bar chart:
Here's how I made the chart:
- start with the tech giants market cap decline chart
- add May 6 market cap data from Yahoo Finance
- use formulas to compute cumulative decline, cumulative rebound and net change and add to Mekko Graphics Data Editor
- show rows 7 and 8 as data columns in chart, noting that there is a blank space in cells A7 and A8
- show bar comparison lines within each cluster bar and show values and percentages in the bar comparison line labels
- adjust internal chart margins and move data columns to appear in upper right
- align and distribute data column entries
- adjust y axis tick interval and hide y axis labels at $250B and $750B
- add x axis title for Market Capitalization on and align with legend
- change series color for May 6 data
