How I Made this Stacked Bar Chart with CAGR Column and Growth Line

Here is the wearables market data I used to create the stacked bar chart:

Here's how I made the stacked bar chart:

copy data from table in Gartner press release into Excel
create a Mekko Graphics chart in PowerPoint based on the Excel data range
add CAGR data to the Mekko Graphics Data Editor using the built-in Mekko Graphics CAGR formula (=CAGR(start value, end value, number of periods) and right-click on cell F1 to designate column F as CAGR column
add legend and right-click legend to align legend with CAGR
hide y axis and x axis line in Format Axis task pane or via right-click
adjust internal chart margins to fill chart container
in Format Chart task pane, show in all segments and show values in labels
use Numbers tab or right-click to format bar totals and segment values as $B with 1 decimal place
annotate labels for smart-clothing in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and shrink font size of those labels and 2021 label to 8 point
adjust series colors
add growth line and right-click to display values as CAGR
