Hi there,

I have created a small Excel add-in that seems very similar to what you have done here. My aim is to make it as straightforward as possible for the user to animate their charts – all that is required is to create a data table, create a chart from the top row of that data table and then use the add-in’s menu to run the animation.

It is freely available from my website – http://www.animatexl.com – and I would greatly appreciate any comments from any potential users.

Regards
Phil.

Anton -

You could keep the Excel workbook as a companion file to the presentation. Or you could embed the Excel chart (actually the entire workbook) into a slide. The embedded chart will be frozen during the slideshow, but in design mode, activating the embedded chart will allow you to run the animation.

With some VBA programming, it is possible to run the animation within the slideshow using controls you’ve embedded in the slide, similar to the controls on the worksheet. I haven’t done this, so I can’t say how it’s done.

Do you know how to get all of this into a Powerpoint so I can present that animation? Thanks

Thanks. I saw that Google has a motion chart widget that does something like this and though it was cool. I’d prefer doing it in Excel. Now I need to find a good data set to use it on. (Not just use it because it’s cool and end up confusing the point of the data)
