Use this interactive demo to learn how to change the chart type in your PowerPoint presentations.

‍

It is very easy to change the chart type in PowerPoint. Here’s a short guide on how to do it in simple steps:

  1. Inside the slide canvas of your PowerPoint presentation, find and select the chart you want to edit.
  2. Following that, head over to the top menu bar and click 'Chart Design'.
  3. Find the 'Change Chart Type' option, then click the drop-down arrow next to it.
  4. Subsequently, hover your mouse cursor over the type of chart you wish to use.
  5. Browse the collection and then choose one according to your liking.
  6. Finally, the type of the selected chart in your PowerPoint presentation will be changed accordingly.

📌 Why this matters

Switching chart types lets you present the same data in completely different ways, transforming how your audience interprets your message. A pie chart emphasizes parts of a whole, while a line chart shows trends over time, and a bar chart compares quantities. Your choice directly shapes what insights people draw from your numbers. Even more valuable, you can experiment with different formats during your presentation prep to discover which visualization tells the most compelling story for your specific audience and objectives.
