Data Charts

With empower^® Chart Creation, you can choose from a variety of data charts. Chart types such as waterfall charts, bar charts, column charts, line charts and circle charts are available.

To insert a data chart, navigate to the group empower and click on the button Insert Chart (Figure 1, “Button Insert Chart”).

Then, choose one of the chart types (Figure 2, “Chart Type Selection”).

You can now define the area and size of the data chart on your current slide.

To do so, drag and drop your mouse cursor over the respective area.

If you have enabled guiding lines in the user settings, guiding lines are displayed while you insert the chart.

If you have defined the guiding lines option in the user settings accordingly, press Alt to display the guiding lines.

The guiding lines help you to align the chart to other placeholders or shapes.

To insert a chart into a placeholder, hover over the placeholder. The placeholder is highlighted by an orange frame.

Click into the placeholder to insert the chart into the highlighted placeholder.

Your chart is inserted into your slide with default values.

Data charts mainly consist of data series which consist of data points (Figure 3, “Data Point”, Figure 4, “Data Series”).

You can either edit an entire series or single data points.

If you have an existing data chart that you want to duplicate to place it on the same slide, select the respective chart and press Ctrl.

A placeholder with a plus symbol appears on the slide (Figure 5, “Placeholder with Plus Symbol”).

Drag the placeholder to the position where you want to place the copy of the chart.

Drop the chart at this position.

A duplicate of the copied chart will be placed at the respective position on the slide (Figure 6, “Chart Duplicate”).

You can also select multiple charts or charts and shapes at once to copy them to another position on the slide. In this case, the relative distance between the charts and shapes is maintained.

To copy an existing chart to another slide, select the chart and then press Ctrl + C.

Then, switch to the slide on which you want to position the duplicate and press Ctrl + V to paste the chart.

You can then adjust the chart's position on the slide manually using drag & drop.
