Add a bar chart to a presentation in PowerPoint
Use a bar chart to illustrate comparisons over a period of time. When you need a bar chart in a presentation, use PowerPoint to create it, if the data is relatively simple and won’t need frequent updates (otherwise, see Copy an Excel chart below in this summary). Here’s how:
-
Click INSERT > Chart.
-
Click the chart type and then double-click the chart you want. For help deciding which chart is best for your data, see Available chart types.
-
In the spreadsheet that appears, replace the default data with your own information.
-
When you have finished, close the spreadsheet.
