Powerpoint 2010 - hiding data series

Hiya

in PP 2003 you just used to have to click on the series in the spreadsheet you wanted to 'hide' and it would 'grey out' in the sheet but still be visible once you opeed the data sheet so you knew the data was there.
In 2010 it seems you have to actually hide the data as in excel and when you click into the data sheet you at first glance dont realise there is hidden data which can be very dangerous!

is there any way that you can hide a data series without it actually disappearing from site on the spreadsheet?

thanks
jenny

RE: Powerpoint 2010 - hiding data series

Hello Jenny

You are right. It was a nice feature of PowerPoint 2003 to be able to hide rows or columns of the datasheet and still see them greyed out. In PP 2010 there is no 'datasheet' as before and it is no longer possible to hide data without it dissapearing from view.

Regards

Doug

Powerpoint tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in PowerPoint 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
