Series CAGR
The CAGR arrow is always calculated based on the column
totals. However, you might also like to visualize the
compound annual growth rate of one of the series.
This can be shown in series labels. Simply
select the label and choose the CAGR
option from the right-most menu on the
floating toolbar.
Now the CAGR is calculated series-wise.
To select all series labels in one action, click the first
label, then ✄
✂Shift
⇑-click ✁ the last one (see Multi-selection
on page 23).
Value line
In menu: Chart
Menu item:
This feature displays a line parallel to the x-axis to visualize
a certain value. You can create multiple value lines
per chart, and you can choose to have the line’s label
placed to the left or to the right of the chart.
Where appropriate, the value line is initialized with and
snaps to the arithmetic mean (stacked chart, clustered
Column chart, line chart and area chart 48
chart) or the weighted mean (Mekko chart) of the column
totals. If the line is snapped to such a value, this
value is calculated and automatically updated when
data changes.
You can drag the line as desired. If you need to increase
the precision of the dragging operation, use PowerPoint
controls to zoom in on the slide. You can also use the
cursor keys ✄ ✂ ✁ ← ✄ ✂ ✁ → ✄ ✂ ↑ ✁
✄ ✂ ↓ ✁to
nudge the line to a specific
value. When using the cursor keys, the line moves in
increments corresponding to the label’s number format.
As always, you can add custom text to the label or replace
the predefined label with your own content. You
can learn more about labels and text fields in chapter
Text labels on page 30. You can also change the label’s
font (see Font on page 33) and number format
(see Number format on page 33).
100% indicator
In menu: Chart
Menu item:
This feature shows a “100%” mark. It is on by default.
You can choose to have the label placed to the left or
to the right of the chart.
