custom animation for bar chart

[Guest]

I would like to make a single bar in a bar chart appear by adding an entrance
effect using custom animation but I dont know if this is possible. Every
time I try using animation the whole bar chart flys in. Any help would be
appreciated greatly.

Thank you

In PowerPoint 2002/XP and above,
Add the effect you want.
Then right click on the effect, select Effect Options.
Click on the Chart Animation.
Uncheck Animate grid and legend (if you do not want to animate it)
Click on the "Group chart:" dropdown, select By element in category or series.
OK your way out.

In PowerPoint 2000 and below, you can change to By element in category or
series, in Introduce chart elements section (Which is under the Chart Effects
tab).

* Note that it may not work in certain animations such as fly in. You might
want to try out with different animations such as Fade instead.

As Tohlz says

also if you want to animate an odd bit of the chart or bars NOT on the
obvious order and dont mind not being able to edit the data you can UNGROUP
the chart (probably twice) and then carefully (there'll be lots of elements!)
reselect the bits you want and regroup just them. Apply animation to these
bits only.

PS You might like to try the WIPE animation, it works well with bar charts.
