Add A Chart To A Slide

1. First, do one of the following:
   • Open the Insert menu and choose Chart.
   • Click the Chart icon on the toolbar.
   • Apply a content layout to a slide and click the chart icon.
   A sample bar chart appears on the slide, along with a datasheet, or spreadsheet.
   
2. Edit the datasheet to change the data presented in the chart.
3. While you are editing a chart, a Chart menu appears in the menu bar.
   
   Use this menu to change the chart type (for example to a line chart or pie chart) and select other chart options.

Try it! Format a slide with a content layout and click the icon to insert a chart. Change the data on the data sheet and use the Chart menu to experiment with different chart types.
