I think layout could be very useful. Also components ( for example most company presentations require the logo of the company to be on the bottom, is that really necessary?)
Really useful video. Here in Peru (South America) the way data is presented is not taken into account most of the time, usually they are boring and complicated to understand. I definitely will use all these tips for future presentations
Thanks for this! Just this week I gave a talk on dataviz (referring people to Cole's work, as well as to the likes of Nancy Duarte's and Scott Berinato's), but didn't realise PPT _finally_ lets you animate charts! So I'll share this video with the attendees. (The way I've been animating charts is to keep the real chart off the edge of the slide, and use *Paste Special* to insert a copy that's a metafile graphic, which you can then ungroup and animate. Messy!)
The PPT animation feature is super useful! That said, we also love brute-force PPT! Yes, it can be messy, but sometimes it's faster to implement. We are so glad you found this video helpful!
Hi CJH. Good question! At minute 3:28, the ACTUAL and FORECAST labels on the x-axis appear after removing white text boxes. You can go to minute 11:29 in the video to see the white text box approach explained in more detail.
What other tips or tricks would you like to learn to make more effective PowerPoint presentations?

Great idea and thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately many of us weren't taught how to communicate effectively with data in school. Glad this video helped!

Awesome video. Been looking for something like this for a while now - thanks!
Thanks, Ruth. So glad it was helpful!
Excellent Video!
Many thanks.
How did you animate the appearance of the forecast portion of the x axis?
