New York Times Tax Burden Visualisation in Powerpoint  The New
York Times has been developing excellent data visualizations for
years. A couple of weeks ago, I came across one of the latest
editions and I was amazed by the simplicity and elegance of
their graph on the U.S. tax burden evolution.  Take a look at
the original article:

What makes this visualization so clever, is the fact that they
have a ton of data displayed in a single image, but they only
display the values that the users selects by hovering over the
graph. In this way, you get a detailed picture of 30 years of
data over 8 tax brackets without losing yourself. If you would
have placed this amount of data into slide, you would need a
dozen or so to get the same result.  So I immediately thought
“but could this also be done on PowerPoint?” And the answer is
“Yes, it can”  In this article I will explain how this can be
achieved. You can download a free copy of the presentation at t
