Cascade chart of cost of fully loaded Mac Pro as compared to the base model with data rows showing upgrades for processor, memory, graphics and storage.

Here's how I made the cascade chart with data rows:

  • create a cascade chart in PowerPoint
  • type in data from Apple for mac pro costs and for base and fully loaded configurations
  • adjust internal margins to reduce the height of chart area and make room at bottom for multi-line data rows
  • hide y axis and x axis line
  • adjust bar gaps to make bars wider and reduce left and right margins to make chart fill horizontal area and to provide more width for data row entries
  • format bar totals as currency
  • set segment colors
  • multiselect all data row items and change to be left-justified
  • display values in all segments and format as a percentage
  • multi-select items in each data row and align tops
