Use this interactive demo to learn how to update and customize a bar graph in Google Slides.

Quick summary

Editing a bar graph in Google Slides requires updating data through a linked Google Sheet and refreshing the chart. This step-by-step process lets you change chart data, colors, titles, and type without leaving the Google Workspace.


Steps

  1. Open your presentation in Google Slides.
  2. Click the bar graph and then click the three-dot menu beside Linked chart in the top right corner.
  3. Select Open source to open the linked Google Sheet where the chart data is edited.
  4. In Google Sheets, update the chart data or double-click the chart to change the chart type, titles, colors, or other settings.
  5. After updating your data in Sheets, navigate back to Google Slides.
  6. Click Update on the chart to refresh and apply the changes.
  7. Confirm your bar graph has been successfully updated.

📌 Why this matters

Editing a bar graph in Google Slides is a common task for anyone building data-driven presentations, but the process is not immediately obvious. Because Google Slides bar charts are linked to Google Sheets, users must know how to open the source data, make edits, and sync changes back to the slide. This demo helps presenters, analysts, and educators confidently update chart data, colors, titles, and chart type in seconds. Mastering this workflow ensures your Google Slides presentations always reflect the most current and accurate data.
