Powerpoint 2007 Charts

[Stav19]

Hi All

Just a simple query...could anyone recommend a good website or book
for improving my knowledge of power point charts? Having some real
issues with stacked column charts, it's the only one I think to use
where I've 8 categories for each comparison period and at least two
comparison period!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thx!

Many of the Excel MVPs have sites with good charting information.

http://www.peltiertech.com/
http://www.andypope.info/

are both good starting points.

Andy's site has a links page that's invaluable!

You might also check into books like Stephen Few's Show Me the Numbers
http://www.amazon.com/Show-Me-Numbe...1999/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1248903597&sr=8-3

and Gene Zelazny's Say It With Charts
http://www.amazon.com/Say-Charts-Executives-Visual-Communication/dp/007136997X/ref=pd_sim_b_2

John Walkenbach's Excel Charts
http://www.amazon.com/Excel-Charts-...7643/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1248904075&sr=8-3
(there are updated versions of this book as well)

Of course there's always Edward Tufte, too....
