Google Sheets: Money Jar Bar Chart

176 Views Asked by At

I am working on a personal project on Google Sheets for a video game I'm playing. I want to make a sort-of Money Jar with a single column bar graph. Here is the data I'm referencing: Data.

Preferably, I want a bar chart with a single column. The cash goals would be my data points on the Y-Axis of the chart (75,000, 120,000, etc.). For example, as I reached the 75,000 cash goal in my video game, I enter the date I reached this goal into the "Date" column. As a number is entered into this cell, the bar chart fills to the 75,000 data point on my chart. Here is a very rough sketch of what I hope it would look like: Sketch.

I'm not sure how I would do this but any suggestions or comments would be very helpful. (Also, I've made a separate chart for the cash values alone (separate from values and text in the above chart) which looks like this: Value Data.)
