How I Made this Bubble Chart
The quick serve restaurant data for this chart is presented below:
Here's how I made the bubble chart:
- copy the data from the QSR website into Excel
- compute the growth rate based on units in 2018 and 2019
- create a data range with sales per unit as x value, growth as y, sales as bubble size and category as group as above
- make a chart in PowerPoint based on this data range
- add bubble values
- format bubble values and axis labels
- adjust internal margins and axis maximums to spread out the bubbles
- add legend, horizontal and vertical quadrant lines, axis titles and reference bubble labels
- move and edit bubble labels to place them in 2 lines and next to their respective bubbles
