How to Make Charts in Google Slides

Using charts to represent your numerical or statistical data helps your audience understand everything visually at a glance. In this new Google Slides tutorial, you’ll learn how to create pie charts, bar graphs and other kinds of charts , so you’ll be able to display the information clearly and boost your presentations.

How to Create a Chart

Editing a chart, working with the charts included in our templates.

Whenever you create a chart in Google Slides, it will link to a Google Sheets document. Having this in mind, let’s see how you can make a chart from scratch for your presentation.

• Select the slide where you want to insert a chart.
• Click Insert → Chart. You’ll see different options: bar, column, line and pie. There’s also an option to add a chart from an already existing Google Sheets document. Select the one that best fits your data.
• Once you’ve added the chart, it will be inserted as an image. To edit it, click Edit in Sheets, which will appear in a pop-up in the bottom left corner.
• As an alternative, click the Link options drop-down arrow and choose Open source. A Google Sheets document will open.
• When you’re done modifying the data and/or the design in Google Sheets, go back to Google Slides. To apply the changes, click the Update button, located in the top right corner.

• As an alternative, you can copy the chart from Google Sheets by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + C and paste it in your Google Slides presentation.
• When pasting, you will be asked whether to link the chart to the source spreadsheet or not.

• Select the chart that you want to edit in your presentation.
• Any Google Slides chart is processed as an image. To edit it, click the Link options drop-down arrow, located in the top right corner, and choose Open source. A Google Sheets document will open.
• Modify the data that has been generated by default. You’ll find it in the first cells.

• To edit the colors of the chart or the background, select the desired element and choose a color from the panel on the right. You can also click the three vertical dots, located in the top right corner of the chart, and select Edit chart.
• On the Setup tab from the Chart editor panel, you can select the data range, change the chart type, add operations and determine whether you want to use the first row as headers or not. Click the Stacking drop-down arrow to see options that allow you to modify how the data will be displayed in the chart.
• On the Customize tab from the Chart editor panel, you can adjust different settings. Let’s have a look at them.
• In the Chart & axis titles submenu, you can enter the title text and select its font, size, format and color. This will override the settings from the Chart style submenu, but only for the titles.
• In the Chart style submenu, you can adjust the background color (or leave it without any color), change the font and adjust the chart border color (or leave it without color). There are also other options to turn the chart 3D, maximize it and enable the Compare mode.
• In the Legend submenu, you can set the position of the legend and its format.

• If you’re working with a bar chart, in the Series submenu you can edit the colors of the periods. There are also other options to enable the error bars and data labels.
• If you’re working with a bar or line chart, the Horizontal axis and Vertical axis submenus will be available too. These allow you to adjust the axes of the chart and the format of the labels.
• Finally, in the Gridlines submenu you can enable the gridlines if the chart supports this feature. You can also set how many there will be, as well as their color.
• To apply the changes in your Google Slides presentation, click the Update button, located in the top right corner. You can also copy the chart from Google Sheets by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + C and paste it in your presentation.
• Make a copy of our template in your Google Drive. Then select the slide that contains the editable chart.

• You’ll notice that the chart is linked. Select the chart and click the link to the Google Sheets document.
• Make a copy of the spreadsheet in your Google Drive.
• It will open in Google Sheets, where you’ll see the charts that we’ve included in our template.
• Once you’re done modifying the chart, copy it by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + C, go back to Google Slides and paste it.
• You will be asked whether you want to link the chart to the source spreadsheet or not.

How to create a graph in google slides.

You can add more visuals than just images and videos to your slideshow.

Quick Links

Create a graph in google slides, edit the chart and data in google sheets, update the graph in google slides.

A chart or graph is a terrific way to show a snapshot of your data. So when you couple a chart with another visual tool like Google Slides , you can create the perfect presentation of data to your audience.

You can certainly make a graph in Google Sheets and then  insert it into your Google Slides presentation . But you can also do the reverse and start the chart from Slides. Here's how to create a graph in Google Slides.

Visit Google Slides , sign in, and open your presentation. Go to the slide where you want to insert the chart . Because the graph will cover the entire slide by default, you may want to start with a blank slide. You can then resize and move the chart afterward as needed.

Open the Insert menu, move to Chart, and choose the type you want to use from the pop-out menu. You can use the most common kinds of graphs like bar, column, line, and pie.

You'll then see a default chart with sample data pop onto your slide. You'll also notice a brief message at the bottom letting you know that you can edit the chart in Google Sheets. Click the Edit in Sheets link in the message to go directly to the chart in Google Sheets.

If the message vanishes before you can click the link, don't worry. Select the chart and then click the arrow on the top right of it. Pick "Open Source" and Google Sheets will open in a new browser tab right to the chart and its data.

You can use the sample data for the graph if it fits your purpose. If not, simply use the cells above the chart in the Google Sheets to add your own data.

To adjust what displays on the chart, click the three dots on the top right of it and pick "Edit Chart." This opens the Chart Editor sidebar for you to adjust the axes, series, and other elements on the Setup tab.

To customize the appearance of the chart, select the Customize tab in the sidebar. You can expand the categories depending on your graph type to change things like the chart style, legend, and series.

When you finish setting up the data, adjusting the chart, and customizing the appearance in Google Sheets, return to the Google Slides tab in your browser.

Back to your slide, you'll see an Update button appear on the graph. Click this to apply the changes you made to the chart and data in Google Sheets.

Moving forward, you can update the chart data or the chart itself by opening the corresponding Google Sheet. Again, you can do this by clicking the arrow on the top right of the chart in Google Slides and picking "Open Source."

But you can also visit Google Sheets directly or Google Drive. The name of the spreadsheet will be the same name as your Slides presentation plus the chart type.

If you want to convert the graph to a static image, you can simply unlink it from the Google Sheets source. Click the arrow on the top right of the chart and pick "Unlink."

Just note that you cannot update the chart or its data using Google Sheets if you unlink it. It will appear as a static image on your slide .

Adding a chart to your Google Slides presentation might be just the visual you need to enhance the slideshow or show the exact data necessary.

For other types of visuals for your slideshow, take a look at how to add videos and customize the playback or how to draw on Google Slides .

How to Make a Presentation Graph

Visuals are a core element of effective communication, and regardless of the niche, graphs facilitate understanding data and trends. Data visualization techniques aim to make data engaging, easy to recall and contextualize while posing as a medium to simplify complex concepts .

In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a presentation graph, briefly covering the types of graphs you can use in presentations, and how to customize them for maximum effectiveness. Additionally, you can find references on how to narrate your graphs while delivering a presentation.

Table of Contents

What is a Presentation Graph?

Types of graphs commonly used in presentations, how to select a presentation graph type, design principles for effective presentation graphs, working with presentation graph templates, integrating the graph into your presentation, common mistakes to avoid when making a presentation graph, final words.

A presentation graph is a visual representation of data, crafted in either 2D or 3D format, designed to illustrate relationships among two or more variables. Its primary purpose is to facilitate understanding of complex information, trends, and patterns, making it easier for an audience to grasp insights during a presentation. 

By visually encoding data, presentation graphs help highlight correlations, distributions, and anomalies within the dataset, thereby supporting more informed decision-making and discussion. 

Various types of graphs are commonly used in presentations. Each type serves specific purposes, allowing presenters to choose the most suitable format for conveying their data accurately. Here, we’ll discuss some common examples of presentation graphs.

Check our guide for more information about the differences between charts vs. graphs .

A bar chart is a visual tool that represents data using horizontal bars, where the length of each bar correlates with the data value it represents. This type of chart is used to compare discrete categories or groups, highlighting differences in quantities or frequencies across these categories. 

For more information check our collection of bar chart PowerPoint templates .

Column Graphs

Column graphs are a variation of bar charts. They display data through vertical columns, allowing for comparing values across different categories or over time. Each column’s height indicates the data value, making it straightforward to observe differences and trends.

Line Graphs

Line graphs depict information as a series of data points connected by straight lines. They are primarily used to show trends over time or continuous data, with the x-axis typically representing time intervals and the y-axis representing the measured values. Line graphs highlight the rate of change between the data points, indicating trends and fluctuations.

For more information check our collection of line chart PowerPoint templates .

Circle Graphs

Circle graphs, commonly known as pie charts or donut charts, present the data distribution as fractions of an entity. They provide a quick understanding of the relative sizes of each component within a dataset. Pie charts are particularly effective when the goal is to highlight the contribution of each part to the whole data.

For more information check our collection of circle diagram templates .

Area Graphs

Area graphs are similar to line graphs, but the space below the line is filled in, emphasizing the volume beneath the curve. They represent cumulative totals over time through the use of sequential data points, making it easier to see total values and the relative significance of different parts of the data.

For more information check our collection of area chart PowerPoint templates .

Cone, Cylinder, and Pyramid Graphs

Three-dimensional graphs, such as cones, cylinders, and pyramids, create a dynamic visual impact on presentations. While not as common as the other types, they are used for their ability to add depth and dimension to data representation. These graphs create a visually engaging experience for the audience, although sometimes they sacrifice accuracy for the sake of visuals.

For more information check our collection of pyramid diagram PowerPoint templates .

As a presenter, you must be aware of both the topic’s requirements to discuss and your audience’s needs. Different graphs fulfill distinct purposes, and selecting the right one is critical for effective communication.

Line Graphs for Trends Over Time

A line graph is effective when you want to present trends or changes over a continuous period, like sales performance over months. Each point on the line represents a specific time, offering a clear visual representation of the data’s progression.

Bar Graphs for Comparing Quantities

If your goal is to compare quantities or values across different categories, such as sales figures for various products, a bar graph is suitable. The varying lengths of bars make it easy to compare the magnitudes of different categories.

Pie Charts for Showing Proportions

Use pie charts when you want to illustrate parts of a whole. For example, to represent the percentage distribution of expenses in a budget, a pie chart divides the total into segments, each corresponding to a category.

Follow these guidelines to create your presentation graph for the data you intend to represent. 

How to Make a Presentation Graph in PowerPoint

Start by opening your presentation slide deck. For this tutorial’s purpose, we’ll work with a blank slide.

Switch to the Insert tab and click on Chart . 

A new dialogue window will open, where you have to select the chart type and the specific representation type—i.e., for area charts, you can choose from 2D or 3D area charts and their distribution method.

If you hover over the selected chart, it will zoom in to check the details. Double-click to insert the chosen graph into the slide.

As we can see, a spreadsheet to edit the data is now available. If you accidentally close it, go to Chart Design > Edit Data.

Replace the data in the numbers to reflect the data you need to showcase. The columns’ titles indicate the text the legend shows for each series. Then, we can close the spreadsheet and continue customizing it.

By clicking on the paintbrush, we access the Style options for the graph. We can change the background color, layout style, and more.

If we switch to the Color tab inside of Style , we can modify the color scheme for the presentation graph. And as simple as that is how to make a graph in PowerPoint.

How to Make a Presentation Graph in Google Slides

Now, let’s see how to create a graph in Google Slides. We start once again from a blank slide.

Go to Insert > Chart . Select your desired presentation graph option. In our case, we will work with a Pie Chart.

To change the placeholder data, click on Edit Data .

If you missed the emergent tab, you can go to the three points in the graph, click on them, and select Open Source .

The graph will most likely cover the data spreadsheet, so move it to one side to see the entire data range. In this case, the auto-generated graph is wrong as the sum gives 110%. We’ll correct that now.

And this is how it looks with the corrected data.

Next, we click on the three dots on the chart and select Edit the Chart . This shall open all customization options.

At the Setup tab, we can change the chart style and select from various options. 

The data will refresh in that case and adapt its representation to the new style.

If we switch to the Customize tab (it says Customise, as the selected language is UK English), we can fine-tune our presentation graph starting from the background color.

Activate the 3D checkbox to change to a 3D pie chart (applicable to any graph).

We can find tailored settings for the Pie Chart to convert it to a donut chart, with settings like the donut hole size.

The Pie Slice section helps us change the color scheme for each one of the slices.

We can change the title and axis titles in the Chart and axis titles section.

Finally, the Legend section offers many customization options to alter the legend’s format.

Once the customization process is completed, close the Google Spreadsheets tab, go to your presentation chart, and click Update .

Google Slides will refresh the data for your created presentation graph with the last synced data.

Adhering to certain design principles is imperative for creating graphs and communicating information effectively.

Simplicity and Clarity

A graph should be clean and free from unnecessary details. Clear graphs have visible data points and helpful short texts for better understanding. Even if it looks simple, it can still show important information. To make it easy to understand, avoid adding distortions, shading, weird perspectives, too many colors, unnecessary decorations, or 3D effects [2]. It is also essential to ensure the plotted data points are clear, not hidden or covered.

Use of Color and Contrast

Thoughtful use of color and contrast enhances visual appeal and distinguishes different elements within the graph. Colors can effectively improve the chart presentation in three ways: highlighting specific data, grouping items, and encoding quantitative values. However, do not use fancy or varying colors in the background. We suggest resisting decorating graphs excessively, as it can hinder clear data presentation [4]. Only use different colors when they highlight important differences in the data.

Labeling and Legends

Accurate labeling is crucial to provide context and understanding. While designing graphs, we don’t expect the viewer to guess. Instead, we clearly label titles and axes.  Clear labeling means displaying both axes on your graph, including measurement units if needed. Identify symbols and patterns in a legend or caption [3]. Legends explain symbols and patterns in a graph.

Scale and Proportion

For more clarity, we keep the measurement scales consistent and avoid distortions for accuracy. This ensures the exact difference between all the values. It will present data relationships and prevent misinterpretation due to skewed visual perceptions.

Tips for Customizing Graphs

PowerPoint provides various customization options—Right-click on elements like axes, data points, or legends to format them. You can also change colors, fonts, and styles to match your presentation’s look.

Coloring Your Data

When you want to make different parts of your chart stand out, click on a bar or line. Then, right-click and choose “Format Data Series.” Here, you can pick a color that helps each set of data pop. Do this for each part of your chart to make it visually appealing.

Changing the Chart Background

If you want to change the background color around your chart, right-click on the white space. Choose “Format Chart Area” and change the background color to something that complements your data.

Customizing Line Styles

Change the appearance of your lines for a unique look. Click on a line in your chart, right-click, and select “Format Data Series.” Experiment with different line styles, such as solid, dashed, or dotted.

Fine-tuning Axis Appearance

To make your chart axes look polished, right-click on the X or Y axis and choose “Format Axis.” Adjust properties like line color, tick marks, and label font to suit your design.

Perfecting Legends

Legends can be tweaked for a more integrated look. Right-click on the legend, select “Format Legend,” and adjust options like placement, font size, and background color to enhance the overall appearance.

Creating graphs in PowerPoint or Google Slides from scratch can be time-consuming, and ultimately, it won’t yield the same results as professional-made designs. We invite you to discover some cool designs for presentation graphs PPT templates made by SlideModel.

Consider its relevance to the content when incorporating your graph into the presentation. Insert the graph in a slide where it logically fits within the flow of information.

Positioning the Graph Appropriately in the Presentation

Deciding where to put your graph in the presentation is essential. You want it to be where everyone can see it easily and where it makes sense. Usually, you place the graph on a slide that talks about the data or topic related to the graph. This way, people can look at the graph simultaneously when you talk about it. Make sure it is not too small. If needed, you can make it bigger or smaller to fit nicely on the slide. The goal is to position the graph so that it helps your audience understand your information better.

Ensuring Consistency with the Overall Design of the Presentation

Align the graph with the overall design of your presentation to maintain a cohesive visual appeal. You can use consistent colors, fonts, and styles to integrate the graph seamlessly. The graph must complement the theme and tone of your slides. Therefore, you should avoid flashy or distracting elements that may deviate from the established design. The goal is to create a harmonious and professional presentation where the graph blends naturally without causing visual disruptions. However, we recommend you use bar chart templates already available for presentation.

Narrating Your Graph

When explaining your graph during the presentation, start by providing context. Clearly state what the graph illustrates and its significance to the audience. Use simple and direct language, avoiding unnecessary jargon. It is important to walk through the axes, data points, and any trends you want to highlight. Speaking moderately allows the audience to absorb the information without feeling rushed. You can take pause when needed to emphasize crucial points or transitions.

You can learn more about creative techniques to narrate your graph in our data storytelling guide.

Overloading with Information

One common mistake is presenting too much information on a single graph. Avoid filling the graph with excessive data points or unnecessary details.

Misleading Scales or Axes

Scale mistakes, such as uneven intervals or a bar chart with zero baselines, are common graphical mistakes [5]. Misleading scales can distort the interpretation of the graph and lead to incorrect conclusions. Scales should accurately present the data without exaggerating certain aspects.

Inappropriate Graph Types for the Data

Selecting an inappropriate graph type for your data is a mistake to avoid. Choose a graph type that effectively communicates the nature of your data. For instance, a pie chart for time-based trends might not be the most suitable choice. Match the graph type to the data characteristics to convey information accurately.

Working with presentation graphs may feel challenging for a beginner in presentation design software. Still, practice makes the master. Start by clearly stating your objectives in terms of data representation—this will make the presentation graph-type selection process much easier. Customize the graph by working with appropriate color combinations (you can learn more about this in our color theory guide), as this can also help highlight relevant data sections that may influence an informed decision.

Everything depends on your creative skills and how you want to showcase information. As a final piece of advice, we highly recommend working with one graph per slide, unless you opted for a dashboard layout. Ideally, graphs should be seen from a distance, and working with reduced sizes may hinder accurate data representation.

Use SmartArt in Google Slides! [Here’s How to Get It!]

By: Author Shrot Katewa

SmartArt is a useful feature in PowerPoint, and it is great for beginners! But, what happens when you start using Google Slides now! Does Google Slides even have the SmartArt feature? How do you use the SmartArt feature in Google Slides?

The SmartArt feature in Google Slides is known as the “Diagram” tool. To use SmartArt in Google Slides, click on the “Insert” tab. Then, from the dropdown, click on the “Diagram” option. A new panel will open on the right part of your screen with a few pre-built infographic options.

In this article, I’ll take you through a step-by-step process of using SmartArt (or the diagram feature) in Google Slides with visual guides. Plus, I’ll share with you a few ninja tips on how you can get additional infographics for your Google Slides presentation!

So, let’s get started!

Is there a SmartArt in Google Slides? 

Let’s start with the basics first, how can you access the SmartArt feature in Google Slides?

As you may now be already aware, there is a SmartArt option in the Google Slides presentation too.

To use SmartArt in Google Slides, you have to use the “ Diagram ” feature, which is located in the “ Insert ” tab.

Unfortunately, the diagram feature in Google Slides does not provide as many graphic options as the SmartArt feature in Microsoft PowerPoint.

That said, you can use add-ons, and third-party websites to get access to a virtually infinite number of SmartArt and graphics options. We will talk about how you can do so later in the article.

2. How to Use Google Slide Diagrams Feature? 

To use the “ Diagram ” feature in your Google Slides presentation, follow the simple steps described below.

Step-1: Click on the “Diagram” option

The first step of using the Diagrams feature is to click on the “ Diagram ” option which is located in the “ Insert ” tab of your Google Slides ribbon. This will open a sidebar to the right of your screen.

Step-2: Choose the type of graphic required

When you click on the “Diagram” option, you will notice a panel open on the right part of your screen. The first step here is to choose the type of graphic or SmartArt that you want to add to your presentation.

As I said before, there are not a ton of different options, but you do get a few helpful ones to choose from.

Step-3: Select your preferred number of layers

Once you’ve chosen the type of graphic you want, in the next step, you have to select the number of layers that you want your SmartArt diagram to have.

You can also choose to select the color that you want your SmartArt diagram to have. However, this is entirely optional.

Step-4: Select your preferred style of SmartArt diagram

The last step is to select your preferred style of SmartArt diagram from the options available in the “ Diagram ” feature and then the SmartArt Diagram will automatically be inserted into your Google Slides presentation

2a. Options Available in the Diagram Feature in Google Slides 

While you may have seen some of the types of graphics available in Google Slides, you may also be wondering how many different types of graphic options do you get from SmartArt or the Diagram feature in Google Slides.

There are a total of 6 distinct SmartArt diagram options. Each of the 6 options has separate purposes or use. Here’s the list of the six different types of diagrams graphics available in Google Slides by default –

• Grid: With diagrams in this option, you can graphically show information that needs to be expressed as a list or a priority. The grid diagram graphic makes you list visually appealing.
• Hierarchy: Diagrams in this option can be used to visually present a family tree or the succession of positions in your organisation. These diagrams are best used for information that are pyramidal or requires a defined hierarchy.
• Timeline: These diagrams will help you visually present the timeline of a project or process that you may need to describe to for the audience members. These graphics help you give an overview of the project timeframe.
• Process: The graphics under the “Process” diagram option help you showcase a workflow. You can show a unidirectional process as well as a circular process. You also get options to not just lable a particular step, but also provide a brief description for the particular step.
• Relationship: With the help of smart graphics in the “Relationship” diagram option, you can show relationship (as the name suggests) between two pieces of information.
• Cycle: The diagrams in this option can be used to visually represent cyclic or repeatable processes that usually end up in a loop.

3. How to Insert a Hierarchy Chart in Google Slides? 

Now let’s take an actual example of inserting a smart graphic in Google Slides using the “Diagram” option. Let’s say we want to insert a hierarchy chart in Google Slides.

To insert a Hierarchy Chart in your Google Slides presentation, go to the “ Diagram ” option from the “ Insert ” tab as described earlier in this article and follow the steps given below.

Step-1: Open the “Diagram” feature

For the first step, as described above, click on the “Insert” tab and open the diagram option.

Step-2: Select the “Hierarchy” option

After you have clicked on the “ Diagram ” option, select the “ Hierarchy ” option from the sidebar to the right of your screen. It is the second option in the “ Diagrams ” sidebar.

Step-3: Select the color and the number of levels   

In this step, select your preferred number of levels to the SmartArt diagram and the color for the graphic. The hierarchy styles in the sidebar will change accordingly.

Step-4: Select your preferred style of hierarchy diagram

The final step is to look for the right style of hierarchy chart which will fit your PowerPoint presentation and then select it by clicking on it.

After you have clicked on the style of hierarchy chart in the sidebar, that chart will be added to the slide on your Google Slides presentation.

4. How to Insert a Flowchart in Google Slides? 

Unfortunately, you can not add a flowchart directly in Google Slides using the diagram feature described above.

However, you can insert shapes manually create a flowchart. The process is described below –

  Step-1: Click on a preferred shape

The first step is to insert the necessary boxes manually by selecting the shape that you prefer your flowchart to have.

Step-2: Add the shapes in the Slide

The second step is to add the shape to the slide of your Google Slides presentation. Next, duplicate the shapes by using the copy and paste functions in Google Slides. Add as many shapes as you need for your flowchart.

If you are not sure how to do this, check out our complete guide to format shapes in Google Slides . You will need to learn how to specifically arrange the shapes from that article.

Step-3: Add an arrow shape to the boxes

Add arrows to your slide. To add arrows, you need to click on the “Insert” tab. Then, select the “Shapes” option. From the menu, click on “Arrow”. Choose a type of arrow that you like, and the arrow will be added to the slide.

Once you’ve added the arrows, copy and paste (using the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V shortcut keys) the number of arrows that you need in the flow chart and then arrange them on the slide appropriately

Finally, simply edit the rectangular shapes to add text. In this way, you can add a flow chart to your Google Slides presentation.

5. Other Ways to Get Infographics (Smart Designs) in Google Slides 

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Google Slides makes up for the lack of built-in templates for SmartArt by letting you get access to countless diagrams, infographics and other graphics illustrations from third-party websites. There are mainly two ways in which you can get Infographics or Smart designs for your Google Slides presentation. They are described in the following section.

5a. Using Add-ons 

You can use various add-ons in your Google Slide to accomplish almost anything that you may need to make the process of creating a presentation more seamless and efficient. By using add-ons, you can add an extra button in your Google Slides that will allow you access to thousands of infographics and smart designs instantly.

We have an entire article dedicated to add-ons, where you can learn all about using an add-on in your Google Slides along with how to use add-ons to get infographics. Click here to read our article on the topic and learn more.

5b. Using Presentation Templates 

You can also go to third-party websites that provide pre-made templates of presentations that you can use to spice up your presentation.

These websites offer a range of presentation templates that can serve different purposes and themes. You can even search for specific themes for a template that will best fit your presentation. The three most popular websites that you can get templates for your Google Slides presentation are,

• Envato Market – Envato Market is a great option when you just need one presentation template or a graphic. It is reasonably priced so you can easily afford to buy any template. Plus, there thousands of templates available that provide various graphic elements!
• Envato Elements – Envato Elements, just like Envato Market, allows you to get access to several best-in-class design templates. The best part of Envato Elements is that you get unlimited downloads. You can literally take a subscription for one month and download as many presentation templates as you want!
• Slides Go – You can also use Slides Go to access presentation templates. Unfortunately, graphics are usually not available but you can get templates for your presentation. The options are quite limited as of now but some of the templates look interesting.

6. 3 Best Google Slides Presentation Templates

To help you find the best templates for your Google Slides presentation, here are my top 3 picks for the Google Slides template

1.   PowerPoint Template

2. Business Proposal PowerPoint Template

3. Clean PowerPoint Template

The three templates put together will provide you with a ton of different design options to choose from, along with various infographic options! Although these have been primarily designed for PowerPoint, they work equally well on Google Slides too.

One challenge that you may face is that the designs of each of the templates don’t exactly match each other. That will be true for any two presentation templates that you purchase.

One way to fix that is to go with the unlimited download option with Envato Elements as mentioned in the previous section. This will allow you to download any presentation even if you like just one slide of that presentation!

Adding Charts to Your Slides

This page describes how to take existing charts from Google Sheets and add them to Google Slides presentations.

Adding charts to a presentation can help create more impact and make data meaningful to your audience. Charts are uniquely powerful tools for showing patterns or trends in a data set, and can help you communicate clearly about quantitative data.

The above video discusses how to generate slides from spreadsheet data. It includes a complete example (Python) that adds a chart to a slide, and also imports spreadsheet cell data into a table.

About adding charts

Whenever you're presenting quantitative information, data charts can enhance your presentation. The Slides API lets you include any chart that you can create in Google Sheets: bar charts, line charts, pie charts, and many more.

As shown in the diagram above, you must first create the chart in Google Sheets. Once the chart exists, you can embed it into your presentation.

The general process for managing charts in your presentation is:

• Create a chart in Google Sheets.
• Use the Sheets API to read the chart ID of the resulting EmbeddedChart .
• Use CreateSheetsChartRequest once to add it to a slide.
• Use RefreshSheetsChartRequest as needed to sync it to the source data.

Static vs linked charts

When you use the API to add a chart to your presentation, one parameter that you specify is the LinkingMode . This determines whether the chart is added as a static image or as an object that can be refreshed in the future.

Use LINKED mode if:

• You want to refresh the chart in the future, reflecting changes in the underlying data.
• You want collaborators to have a link to the spreadsheet containing the source chart.

Use NOT_LINKED_IMAGE (static) mode if:

• You want the chart to never change in the future.
• You do not want collaborators to see a link to the source spreadsheet.

Scopes for accessing Google Sheets

When you add a chart to your slide, the Slides API needs to access it in Google Sheets. This means your request must use one of the following scopes:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly (preferred)
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

The spreadsheets.readonly scope is generally the best to use, because it is the most restrictive. However, if your app already uses one of the other scopes listed above, then just use that scope.

Adding a chart

To add a chart, you'll need to know the spreadsheet ID and chart ID of the chart in Google Sheets. Then you call the batchUpdate method, using the CreateSheetsChartRequest once to add the chart.

The following example takes a chart and adds it to a slide as LINKED so that it can be refreshed later.

Apps Script

Refreshing a chart.

If you embedded a LINKED chart in your presentation, then you can refresh it at any time using RefreshSheetsChartRequest . This updates the chart to bring it in sync with the underlying Sheets chart and data that it's based on.

The following example refreshes an existing chart:

OpenAI's big event: CTO Mira Murati announces GPT-4o, which gives ChatGPT a better voice and eyes

• OpenAI's "Spring Update" revealed new updates to ChatGPT.
• OpenAI CTO Mira Murati kicked off the event.
• She announced GPT-4o, its next flagship AI model, with improved voice and vision capabilities.

OpenAI just took the wraps off a big new update to ChatGPT.

Cofounder and CEO Sam Altman had teased "new stuff" coming to ChatGPT and GPT-4 , the AI model that powers its chatbot, and told his followers to tune in Monday at 1 p.m. ET for its "Spring Update" to learn more.

Also ahead of time, Altman ruled that the event would reveal GPT-5 or a new OpenAI search engine, which is reportedly in the works. OpenAI is reportedly planning to eventually take on internet search giant Google with its own AI-powered search product.

But the big news on Monday was OpenAI's new flagship AI model, GPT-4o, which will be free to all users and "can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time." It was CTO Mira Murati who delivered the updates with no appearance on the livestream from Altman.

There were a ton of demos intended to demonstrate the real-time smarts of GPT-4o.

OpenAI researchers showed how the new ChatGPT can quickly translate speech and help with basic linear algebra using its visual capabilities. The use of the tech on school assignments has been a polarizing topic in education since it first launched.

Say hello to GPT-4o, our new flagship model which can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time: https://t.co/MYHZB79UqN Text and image input rolling out today in API and ChatGPT with voice and video in the coming weeks. pic.twitter.com/uuthKZyzYx — OpenAI (@OpenAI) May 13, 2024

OpenAI posted another example to X of how one can interact with the new ChatGPT bot. It resembled a video call, and it got pretty meta.

In the video, ChatGPT takes in the room around it, discerns it's a recording setup, figures it might have something to do with OpenAI since the user is wearing a hoodie, and then gets told that the announcement has to do with the AI — it is the AI. It reacts with a voice that sounds more emotive.

OpenAI also announced the desktop version of ChatGPT, and a new and improved user interface.

In addition to GPT-4o and ChatGPT, OpenAI's other products include its AI-powered image generator DALL-E , its unreleased text-to-video generator Sora , and its GPT app store.

You can catch up on our liveblog of the event below.

That’s a wrap! OpenAI concludes the event without an appearance from Altman.

OpenAI says text and image input for GPT-4o-powered ChatGPT is launching today. Meanwhile, voice and video options will drop in the coming weeks, the company said.

Although Altman didn't step in front of the camera, the CEO posted videos from the audience on X.

He also teases "more stuff to share soon."

GPT-4o can also break down charts

The new AI model can interact with code bases, the OpenAI execs say. The next demo shows it analyzing a chart from some data.

It's a plot of global temperatures. GPT-4o gives some takeaways from what it sees, and CTO Mira Murati asks about the Y axis, which the AI explains.

ChatGPT reads human emotions — with a stumble

For the last live demo of the day, Zoph holds his phone up to his face and asks ChatGPT to tell him how he looks. Initially, it identifies him as a "wooden surface" — a reference to an earlier photo he had shared.

But after a second try, the model gives a better answer.

"It looks like you're feeling pretty happy and cheerful," ChatGPT says, noting the small smile on Zoph's face.

In one of the final tests, ChatGPT becomes a translator

In response to a request from an X user, Murati speaks to ChatGPT in Italian.

In turn, the bot translates her query into English for Zoph and Chen.

"Mike, she wonders if whales could talk, what would they tell us?" she said in English after hearing Murati's Italian.

It's pretty impressive.

The video demo shows how it could help with math homework, including basic linear algebra

OpenAI Research Lead Barret Zoph walks through an equation on a whiteboard (3x+1=4), and ChatGPT gives him hints as he finds the value of x — making it basically a real-time math tutor.

At the beginning, the bot jumped the gun.

"Whoops, I got too excited," it said after it tried to solve the math problem hadn't been uploaded yet.

But it then walked him through each step, recognizing his written work as he tried to solve the equation.

It was able to recognize math symbols, and even a heart.

OpenAI's first demo: Talking to GPT-4o

It's demo time!

The new bot has a voice that sounds like an American female, but no word yet if you can change it.

OpenAI Research Lead Mark Chen pulled out ChatGPT on his phone and asks for advice on giving a live presentation using Voice Mode.

"Mark, you're not a vacuum cleaner," it responds when he hyperventilates, appearing to perceive his nervousness. It then tells him to moderate his breathing.

Some big changes, you can interrupt the AI now, and there shouldn't be the usual 2 or 3-second delay with GPT-4o.

It can also detect emotion, according to OpenAI.

GPT-4o will have improved voice capabilities

Murati emphasizes the necessity of safety with the real-time voice and audio capabilities of the new GPT-4o model.

She says OpenAI is "continuing our iterative deployment to bring all the capabilities to you."

Murati says the big news is a "new flagship model" called GPT-4o.

The new model is called GPT-4o, and Murati says that OpenAI is making a "huge step forward" with ease of use with the new model.

It's free for users, and "allows us to bring GPT-4 class intelligence to our free users," Murati says.

And we're off!

The livestream began with CTO Mira Murati at OpenAI's offices.

OpenAI is going to be announcing 3 things today, she says. "That's it."

For those who want to watch live, you can view the whole event here.

OpenAI will be livestreaming its spring update, which kicks off in less than an hour.

Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting.
