Features

[FEATURES]

Built in the deck

Charts are created natively inside PowerPoint, not pasted in as images from Excel. They travel with the file, and a colleague with Chartbuddy installed can edit them.

From the Home ribbon

Create a chart, reopen one or change its formatting without leaving the slide. No switching to a spreadsheet.

Full business library

All 14 chart types, including waterfall, mekko, bar mekko and marimekko. Drawn as real chart types, not built from stacked bars.

Control every detail

Axes, axis breaks, number and date formats, titles, legends, data labels, annotations, call-outs and smart arrows for growth and CAGR. Point and click, no code.

One brand style

Set your organization colors and font once. Every chart your team builds uses them by default.

Same engine as Slides

PowerPoint and Google Slides share one chart engine, one library and one subscription. A chart built in one opens and edits in the other.

[HOW IT WORKS]

How it works

  1. 01

    Add the add-in

    Open PowerPoint, go to Home, then Add-ins, and search for Chartbuddy. Add it and it sits in the Home ribbon from then on.

  2. 02

    Create from the ribbon

    Open the Home ribbon, pick a chart type and enter or paste your numbers. The chart is built on the slide with its data attached.

  3. 03

    Format it exactly

    Break the axis, fix the number format, add the CAGR arrow and the call-out. Your brand colors and font are already applied.

  4. 04

    Reopen it next month

    Open the same chart on the same slide and update the numbers. Charts from Hub or Embed arrive here editable too.
