Why charts in PowerPoint?
Demystifying Charts - Let me teach you, once and for all, how to correctly approach and use charts in PowerPoint
PowerPoint Features - The reason so many charts look exactly alike is that not many people are diving deep into their options - but once you learn, just once, where everything is it repeats itself for most chart types.
Correct data showcase - Know how to select your chart and what are the advantages of every chart.The line chart is optimal for time-based data that has many data points (above 10 for example), and the pie chart is perfect to showcase "parts of a whole", like percentages out of 100%.

Each single chart type has several projects to follow along.
Each project contains:
