PowerPoint has a lot of chart types to choose from. However we have
even some better ideas/wishes. We are looking for a possible solution
to have editable custom charts in PowerPoint. So just as it works now
(or a compatible solution) but then our types. Some examples of the
chart types we think about are attached. Please let me know your
thoughts about this, is it possible or not or do you agree with me a I
fear that I am dreaming?

I think that people often expect their software to do this kind of thing
with no design input from the user. That is impossible.

That said, you can look at Illustrator. It can create these kind of charts,
but in my opinion, you really need an information graphics designer to
create the charts in Illo / Photoshop.

Xcelsius is an option you might look into. http://xcelsius.wordpress.com/

ThinkCell is another. http://www.think-cell.com/

You can create the pie chart at the bottom in PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 fairly
easily.
