Free Stacked Column Chart Template Dark

Leverage this free, fully editable stacked column chart slide to compare and visualize two related data series across multiple categories. The clean white canvas houses a horizontal axis and eight vertical stacked bars, each composed of a primary light-blue segment and a secondary teal segment. A customizable text box beneath the chart provides space for detailed explanations, commentary, or key insights. Subtle gridlines, minimalist axis labels, and high-contrast typography ensure readability at a glance, while all chart elements remain vector-based for pixel-perfect scaling on any display.

Built on master slides for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this free template simplifies your workflow: swap in your own data values to automatically adjust bar heights, change segment colors in seconds to align with brand guidelines, and reposition or resize the text placeholder without breaking the layout. The chart’s data-driven configuration supports direct copy-paste from Excel or Google Sheets, and the light drop shadow under the text box adds depth without cluttering the design.

Ideal for quarterly performance reviews, budget breakdowns, resource allocation analyses, and comparative KPI reporting, this stacked column layout transforms raw numbers into a compelling visual narrative. Use it to illustrate sales versus returns, actual versus forecast, or demographic splits over time. The slide’s intuitive structure helps stakeholders quickly grasp trends, identify outliers, and make data-driven decisions—saving you hours on custom chart creation and ensuring consistent styling across your presentation.
