Can you make your own thermometer chart?

A thermometer chart can be created with the use of Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint. Independent websites primarily concerned with fund-raising also provide the opportunity to generate a thermometer chart.

A thermometer chart is essentially a column chart used to present sets of data in comparison to one another. A thermometer chart can be created by generating a simple bar chart in Excel or PowerPoint and adding specific values to the chart. Grid lines must be removed from the chart so that only the columns are left. The thermometer-like shape can be easily created by adjusting the outline and colors of the columns using the tools contained in the programs.
