Charting in powerpoint

hi

hoping you can help me - We have been experiencing a problem in powerpoint when you insert a new chart it automatically inserts one with 4 category rows and 3 series columns - however even through the data is there (and the blue box is around all data) the 3rd series column does not show. This doesn’t happen all the time but im not sure why its happening and wondered if you have experienced this before?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

RE: charting in powerpoint

Hi,

Can you take a screen shot of this for me and email it so i can see what is happening? It would be helpful if the screenshot was taken with the PowerPoint and excel on screen showing the data selected (blue border) and the chart with only 2 series showing.

Thanks
Paul

RE: charting in powerpoint

sorry my bad- just realised the 3rd bar added automatically colours itself white so it looks like its not there even though it is!!

Reset default toolbars in PowerPoint

If you find any of your toolbars in PowerPoint have changed (i.e. they are missing or have extra buttons) then you can reset them to their defaults.

1. Go to Tools - Customise.
2. Select the Toolbars tab.
3. Select (highlight) the name of the toolbar you wish to reset, then click the Reset button on the right.
4. Close the dialogue box.
