Stacked bar charts in Google Slides
Segment labels, totals on top and your palette, editable on the slide.
How to make a stacked bar chart in Google Slides.
A stacked bar chart shows a total broken into its parts across categories: revenue by product line, cost by function, headcount by team. Google Slides can draw a basic stacked bar, but with no segment labels, no totals on top of the stack and almost no styling control, so it rarely survives a management deck.
- 1
Insert a ChartKit stacked bar instead
Pick Stacked Bar from the ChartKit menu on the slide. Segment labels, stack totals and an attached legend are on by default.
- 2
Enter your data on the slide
Type categories and series straight into the grid; the chart updates live. No jumping into a linked spreadsheet to change a number.

Make it board-ready
Your palette applies automatically; add deltas between periods or a CAGR bracket in a click, and the chart stays an editable object on the slide.
