I think when people think about slide presentations, they think about charts and graphs.
Even Saturday Night Live made a joke about this.
So let's go ahead and insert a simple chart into our slide presentation.
By the way, when we're doing this, we're going to have to use a little bit of Google Sheets.
But don't worry, I'm going to show you exactly what to do.
Let's get started.
So I got my blank slide here.
I'm going to go to the insert menu and I'm going to choose charts.
There's several different kinds of charts here, but don't worry if you choose the wrong one, you can
change it once the chart is placed.
Where did your pie chart?
It takes just a moment to insert the chart, and here you can see the actual chart and the data.
Now the initial chart is points scored.
Let's change this chart up, so it reflects some data that we want it to reflect.
Now, in order to change the chart, we actually have to go into Google Sheets.
So notice this drop down in the upper right hand corner of your chart.
I'm going to click the dropdown and choose open source that opens a Google Sheets panel and you'll see
the chart and above the chart you'll see the data.
So let's choose fruits, and let's see how many people like different types of fruits as our pie chart.
So I'm going to call this fruit right here.
And instead of Team one, Team two, Team three and Team four, let's make this apples.
Oranges, bananas.
And grapes.
And I can hear ad data, let's say 30 people liked apples.
28 liked oranges.
Twenty one liked bananas and 40 liked grapes.
And you can see as I make these adjustments, it's actually making the adjustments to the pie chart
as I go.
If I wanted to add another row or two to the pie chart, I can simply click on the pie chart.
Drag it downward here in sheets and add my data.
So let's add two more fruits peaches.
And let's say we had 15 for peaches and pears weren't very popular at 11.
And you can see it's added data.
Now, if I want to change the appearance of the chart, if I double click on it, you can see the chart
editor appears on the right hand side of my Google Sheets page.
If I open this, you can see here's the chart style.
From here, I can choose the background color, the border color of my charts.
I can even choose to make this a 3D chart.
That's pretty cool.
And I can choose different typefaces to use with my chart.
Let's choose to humor.
Here on the Setup tab, I can actually change the type of chart, as I mentioned before, could change
us into a bar chart line chart, et cetera.
Don't want to do that right now, going back to the Customize tab.
Here we can customize our pie chart.
For example, we could add a doughnut hole that's essentially a hole in the middle of your pie chart.
Different style of pie chart.
So let's add one that's 25 percent.
And there you can see now we've got a 3D chart with a doughnut hole.
We could choose to label each slice with a value or a percentage or value in percentage or no label
at all, since we have the labels here in the data with the text.
I'm going to leave that alone.
If I want, I can highlight a specific pie slice and change the color.
For example, let's make apples red.
That would make more sense.
We could go through here, make orange is actually orange.
We could also pull a slice from the center like that.
Notice when we do that, our labels have changed because of available space.
I could go ahead and put them back at zero percent.
Here in Chardon Access Titles, we can change things like the chart title instead of points scored.
Let's make this favorite.
Fritz.
And if we wanted to change the church subtitle, we could add one here a silly survey, and there you
can see now we've got a subtitle.
We can also make changes to the legend who wanted to change the position in the font right here.
OK, so we've made all the necessary adjustments to the chart, but we're still in Google Sheets.
Now let's go back to Google Slides.
Let's do that.
So the Google Slides tab is still open, but you'll notice our chart looks the same as it did initially.
Did we lose all our changes?
No, we just have to click Update and it'll bring in the latest version of the chart.
Just remember, each time you change the data and Google Sheets, you've got to update it in Google
Slides.
This is a pretty cool tool.
There's a lot of flexibility here.
You can make a lot of different types of charts to impress your friends and associates.
