Bar chart graphic question

Hi,
I need to manually or through the automated bar chart function need to show
one bar that is much higher than the others.

Typically you show this with a broken bar with some space in between. I
cannot find this "shape" on powerpoint. Can anyone guide me to where I can
get a bar that is broken in the middle.

Hi,

I couldn't find a way, but you can do this:

Double click on the chart to open it in edit mode, right click on the left
axis, change the maximum value to what you want, click ok. This will
truncate your long bar. Click outside the chart to exit chart edit mode.
Draw an autoshape (a cube if you're using the default chart type) that
matches the bar and put it over top of the one that needs to be broken.
