Add a chart to a PowerPoint document

Presenting data in a chart is a basic requirement for making presentations: to perform the Insert Chart command, go to the chart editing state (Figure 1), expand the Datasheet dialog box, and then, when you enter the data, close the Datasheet dialog box, and the corresponding chart is immediately added to the slide (Figure 2).

Note: Because PowerPoint doesn't have a strong charting function, if you want to make beautiful charts, it's recommended that you make them in Excel before you copy and paste them into your slides.
