Multiple charts per slide?

[Guest]

HI1 I'm trying to do a presentation for a 3 star and he wants 3 charts on a
single slide. I've never tried to do that before and can't find any
information on it. can it even be done and if so can you tell me how to do
it?

 

[Michael Koerner]

Without know what type of chart your talking about, it is hard to tell you
which way to go. The easiest way would be to do a screen capture of your
charts and post then in as image files. I did this for a number of 3*'s in
my day also. <g>

I'm trying to do a comparison of soldier vs contractor rate of work. I have
16 units broken down into 96 graphs and he doesn't like looking at all of
them he wants them condensed into a smaller presentation if possible. so i'm
trying to fit 3 bar graphs onto a single slide if that is possible.

 

[Michael Koerner]

Sorry about that I meant what are you using to create the graphs, not the
content.

I still believe that a screen capture using something like Snag-It, then
edited in a graphics program and inserted as an image file would be the
easiest way to go

Everything is coming out of excel

 

[Michael Koerner]

Use the insert Object and select Microsoft Excel Chart Select either the
create new or the create from file as you option. Bring them in and scale
them to whatever size you need.

I'd probably put them each on their own chart sheet in Excel, copy them from
Excel and Edit|Paste Special in PPT and choose paste link to link to the
Excel file.

Or maybe I'd just copy and paste into PPT. Then I'd probably ungroup them so
I don't have the entire spreadsheet in there 3 times.

We routinely do "quad charts" (four slides on a slide) This is what we do:

View the slide in slide sorter and copy it from there.

Go to the slide you want to put it on. Select Paste Special>Microsoft
PowerPoint Slide Object.

Resize as needed. You'll still be able to edit each individual slide. The
minus is that it can really make a presentation quite large.

I'm puzzled. Why go to all that effort rather than simply inserting more than
one chart on a slide? If they're MSGraph charts, you can Insert, Chart as many
times as you need. Or better yet, do it once, format to taste, then copy it as
many times as needed, position the copies and all you need to do is change the
data.

When I get asked to do a quad chart, I often have to use existing full-sized
slides from other briefings. Some are bulleted slides or slides showing a
concept or graph slides--sometimes it's even important for the template of
the slide to be seen exactly as is.

Thanks, Linda. That makes perfect sense.

Usually we think of "chart" in a more specific sense, meaning what PPT and/or
Excel call a chart. Bar chart, line chart ... like that, rather than the more
general sense in which you're using it. Hence the confusion.

Not to say that anyone's right or wrong. Just different. And confused. But
not so much so any more. ;-)
