The course explained in one sentence:

Why charts in PowerPoint?
Demystifying Charts - Let me teach you, once and for all, how to correctly approach and use charts in PowerPoint
PowerPoint Features - The reason so many charts look exactly alike is that not many people are diving deep into their options - but once you learn, just once, where everything is it repeats itself for most chart types.
Correct data showcase - Know how to select your chart and what are the advantages of every chart. The line chart is optimal for time-based data that has many data points (above 10 for example), and the pie chart is perfect to showcase "parts of a whole", like percentages out of 100%.

Data visualization is an ever-green, lifelong skill to acquire, so I would say it's for everyone. After this course, you will look differently at all the charts you see because I will give you practical advice about every chart type we work on
The course is suitable for PowerPoint for Windows and PowerPoint for MAC users, as all resources have been tested and confirmed to work
Resources:
As always, I keep my courses practical and based on real-world experience. This is important especially with charts and data visualization in PowerPoint, since you need to be able to analyze your data set and select the correct chart for it. Each single chart type has several projects to follow along.
Each project contains:
- A dedicated data set as an example
- A ready example of the chart so you can preview it
- A custom slide with explanations to work step-by-step
Have PowerPoint charts changed over the years? No! This is an ever-green feature
PowerPoint chart features are almost identical in all its versions. PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2019 and now Microsoft365 with its subscription offer a variety of charts for our data visualizations.

Hi! My name is Andrzej Pach (but Andrew is easier to say ^^) and I spend my daily time with graphic design, presentations, motion & animation, typography, video editing, and online teaching. Most of my work is done in Adobe After Effects & Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 / 2021 / 365 and Camtasia so naturally, this is the software I want to teach about and share my experience with. I have completed more than 5000 graphic projects for clients, mostly including video animations like intros, outros, and transitions for various YouTube channels & marketers. On Fiverr alone (a freelancing website), I have more than 3500 reviews and 4k+ finished jobs. I would like to share with you the knowledge that I was able to "stack up" during the process. I am always willing to help people out by enhancing their brands and projects.
Who am I?
I'm born in 1989, live in a small village in Poland, and graduated from my University in July 2014. A few years back, when I tried to find my "place" after getting hired to prepare a website, flyer, and business card for a local business in my area, I finally "felt it". Since then (2011) I have expanded my skills in this area by completing various graphic, website, and design-related projects. Places like the Warrior Forum, freelancing websites, and graphic contests across the web caught my interest and never let me go. I run my own company since April 2015.
What is the next step?
I've gathered experience by working for several years as a freelancer with a keen focus on handling creative projects ranging from very small businesses to brands and YouTube channels with over 500k subscribers. Now I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge by creating exciting courses that are easy to follow - and most importantly - USEFUL to you. I am looking to work with forward-thinking people who seek to create something original and catchy that will reinforce their brand and follow their vibe. I’m always committed to providing value while giving away random tips to make your workflow easier, no matter what we work on.
What are my mission and passion?
I believe in making the Web Business and Internet Media world a better place because my actions will affect (and hopefully positively shape) my followers, friends, family, and future generations. Since I live in a small village where people work in agriculture or do physical labor, I set the goal for myself to be a sort of pioneer in the web-based business field, growing myself as a designer every single day.
You can always contact me, as I don't mind talking to anyone about how I might help your business or about what course topics I might record if you like my teaching style.
To your success, Andrew (Andrzej in Polish) ;)
