Animating charts imported from Excel
Once you have imported an Excel chart into a Powerpoint slide, it is possible to apply animation to individual components (e.g. each bar) of the chart.
Click on the imported Excel chart, then go to Draw - Ungroup on the Drawing toolbar (usually located at the bottom of the screen).
A message will appear warning that ungrouping will change the chart into a different type of object - click Yes, then go to Draw - Ungroup again.
You should now see the chart has been broken up into all its individual components.
Right-click on a component that you wish to apply animation to; then select Custom animation and apply animation using the task pane on the right of the screen.

» Forum post: Pivot tables |
If I create a pivot table using database from month-end, the following month, can I overlay new data so that the table simply refreshes? Or will excel just freak out with the new data?
