A chart is a tool you can use to communicate

presentation allows your audience to see the
meaning behind the numbers, which makes it Presenting Your Ideas

easy to visualize comparisons and trends.





Chart Types in Excel


PowerPoint has many different types of charts, allowing you to choose the one
that best fits your data. To use charts effectively, you will need to understand how

different charts are used.


• Column charts: use vertical bars to represent data. They can work with many different
types of data, but they are most frequently

used for comparing information.
• Line charts: are ideal for showing trends. The

data points are connected with lines, making
it easy to see whether values are increasing or According to research, 47% of

decreasing over time. presenters put in more than 8
hours into designing their
• Pie charts: make it easy to compare presentations.

proportions. Each value is shown as a slice of
the pie, so it is easy to see which values make

up the percentage of a whole.
• Bar charts work just like column charts, but they use horizontal bars instead of vertical

bars.
• Area charts: are similar to line charts, except that the areas under the lines are filled in.
