Using Charts in Reports and Presentations

In effective PowerPoint presentations and reports, creating charts that work for you, your audience or your reader is an essential part of making and influencing important decisions.

The folks at SlideNirvana have created a number of ready to use charts on PowerPoint at http://www.slidenirvana.com/products/data-driven-graphs.html .

Charts or graphs are a visual representation of data, used to see trends and patterns in the data. Using charts for any other purpose leads to unnecessary complexity. If you have qualitative messages to communicate, use text or shapes because a pseudo-graph will confuse your reader. Also bear in mind that there are 4 main types of graphs: the vertical bar or column chart, the horizontal bar chart, the pie chart and the line chart. For most data representations, one or a combination of the charts will be sufficient. And if you find creating PowerPoint slides time consuming, SlideNirvana provides great-looking and ready to use charts on slides.

Using PowerPoint to Write Reports

Many business executives, and especially consultants, write their reports and deliverables in PowerPoint. Even where Word may be a better option, e.g. in project proposals, PowerPoint is the preferred application. Why?

The folks at SlideNirvana provide some answers to this question: http://www.slidenirvana.com/blog/Why-do-so-many-executives-write-reports-in-PowerPoint/ . There are three reasons cited – control over the page, ease of creating a draft and ease of editing and reviewing. With PowerPoint, the writer has the ability to put in any combination of text, tables, charts, images and, especially, shapes on the same page in a completely user-defined way, and to do this page after page. So if you are wondering if PowerPoint is the right application for writing reports, rest assured it is. And if you find creating slides time consuming, SlideNirvana provides great-looking and ready to use slides for creating reports and deliverables.
