Microsoft Excel doesn’t have a built-in progress bar, but it’s easy to create one using a bar chart.
In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll show you how to insert a stacked bar chart, restyle it, and then remove chart elements to end up with a polished and professional-looking progress bar. And the best part, it will update automatically when you change the underlying data!
