If you need to create a bar graph in PowerPoint, this tutorial will guide you through the process. Let’s use an example of creating a bar graph to represent the total profit made in the years 2015 to 2021.
Firstly, open PowerPoint and click on ‘Insert’. From there, select ‘Chart’, which will bring up a dialog box. Click on ‘Column’ and select the column of your choice. In this case, we will use the first one.
Next, name your graph. Let’s name it “Profit of the Year 2015 to 2016”. Then, you will see the category and series, which are the columns where you will input your data. Enter the year and total amount of profit for each year. You can add more columns if needed.
Once you have entered all your data, you can customize your graph by changing the design and color scheme. You can also add labels and text boxes to make the graph more informative.
To add data labels, right-click on the graph and select ‘Add Data Label’. You can also add a text box to show the units of measurement, such as dollars.
That’s it! With these simple steps, you can create a professional-looking bar graph in PowerPoint.
