How do I put animation in a graph chart?

I have a bar graph chart on a powerpoint presentation, and would like to
place animation so that the specific bars emerge when I click on them, for
now I can only place a custom animation on the entire chart as 1 item, what I
would like is to select items within the chart.

I am not really sure wether this option is available. I'm using PPT 2003, and
I couldn't choose any animation, I placed a bar graph chart on a power point
page, and I would like to select each bar individually to appear when I click
Which version of PPT, and what animation did you choose?

The ability to do this type of animation depends on a combination of the
type of chart and the animation selected.

http://tinyurl.com/aud9q is a recent post with very detailed information on
animating individual elements in a chart in PPT 2003. Could be used in PPT
2002 as well.

Basically --

apply animation to chart
double-click chart in animation taskpane (or choose Effect Options from
dropdown arrow)
Select "group by" option on Chart tab

single item, and I cant find a way to apply an animation to an individual bar.

That doesn't mean you cannot animate indivdual series or categories in PPT
2000/97 (because you can), it just means that those particular instrux will
work for PPT 2002/2003.
