  • ⁠Choose your timescale and add activity bars and milestones that connect directly to the calendar.
  • Add or remove items and the chart adapts automatically to maintain readability.

  • Display multiple series with stacked segments.
  • Include totals and subtotals that calculate automatically.
  • Add segments that cross below the baseline.

Chart annotations for data-driven stories

  • Draw on over 250 business templates so you never start from a blank slide.
  • Find exactly what you need with slide-level search and powerful filters.

Automated Mekko charts

Build Mekko charts to show data in two dimensions, using column width for total category sizes and height for proportions.

  • Choose from unit axis or percentage axis.
  • Avoid manual workarounds as column widths are calculated automatically.
  • Combine smaller segments to ‘Other’ to reduce noise.

Smart text boxes for professional layouts

Use smart text boxes that automatically form optimized layouts so you can stop worrying about the size and alignment of your slide elements.

  • Focus on writing content rather than arranging objects.
  • Combine smart text boxes to quickly create tabular structures.
