    Recreate Flourish Chart in Excel - ideas?

    Hi all,

    I've been using Flourish to create the below chart, but would like to have a way of doing it within Excel, both for future reliability, and so that I can just update the data behind it and have the chart update automatically, rather than using flourish then pasting a picture into the sheet.

    Can you recommend an add-in or a way of manipulating an existing chart type to make it do this?

    Each circle represents a project, and the colour represents the risk rating assigned to it.

    What I see is a basic clustered and stacked column chart with colored circles as the "fill" for the stacked columns. To create something like this in Excel:

    0) If your data are not yet summarized to count how many of each type of project, you will need to add a pivot table or formulas to compute the summary data.
    1) Create the clustered and stacked column chart (this tutorial is the one I use: https://peltiertech.com/clustered-st...mn-bar-charts/ ). Note that it is a regular stacked column chart paying careful attention to data arrangement in the spreadsheet.
    2) Replace the regular column fill with "pictures" of circles https://support.office.com/en-us/art...8-EFE6CB858D10 Be sure to use the "stack and scale with 1 unit per picture" option. If you don't yet have pictures of circles somewhere in your clipart, create those pictures using Paint or your favorite drawing program.

    That should be close.

    Hello,
    I think that calmly Power BI can handle this task. You have many infographics to recruit.
