Exercise 1 - Working with Charts

PowerPoint allows you to create charts on your slides. Charts are simply a pictorial representation of your data. Sometimes, a picture really does say a thousand words or, more accurately, conveys what a thousand numbers can't.

In this exercise, you’ll create a chart, change its type and layout, apply styles, and import a chart directly from Excel.

Exercise 2 - Working with Tables

In the same way that a picture can be worth a thousand words, displaying values can be a powerful way to deliver information. One great way to do this in a presentation is to display values in a table.

In this exercise, you’ll create a table, apply styles and formatting, and import an Excel spreadsheet as a table object.
