Hi, I'm Alan, a presentation designer who's been using PowerPoint for over 20 years. In this course I will to show you how you can quickly make easy changes to charts to improve how you present your data with impact.

We will look at bar charts, pie charts, pictorial charts, key data point charts and proportional area charts and in each example, show you how some simple changes can make your data stand out.

In most examples we will keep the data 'live' in PowerPoint so it can be easily modified at any point,
but I willÂ also show you how you can convert charts into shapes to give you full flexibility on how you want the chart to look and take your design to the next level.
Who this course is for:
Any PowerPoint user who wishes to improve their PowerPoint charts.
