When it comes to charts, we all know how to make bars, lines, and pies. But sometimes we want something a little different. Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Nolan Haims will show you how to extend and hack PowerPoint's charting tools to create unique data visualizations that will stand out and make audiences take notice.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Explore lesser-used chart options such as tree maps, waterfalls, and funnels
• Calculate proportional shapes
• Manually construct unit charts
• Manipulate standard charts to create bullet graphs, lollipops, and slope graphs
