MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Bar Graph Animation
I have a bar graph in PowerPoint 2003 and I wanted to have each bar fly in from the bottom one at a time. I can figure out how to animate each of the bars but only with the Entrance--Appear effect. I can get it to fly in all at once, but that's not what I want to do. Is there a way to have each bar fly in one at a time? Thanks. Give the graph an entrance animation of Wipe (from bottom) Double click the entry in custom animation and in the chart animation tab choose group chart by series (or maybe catagory?) Untick animate grid & legend  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I have a bar graph in PowerPoint 2003 and I wanted to have each bar fly in > from the bottom one at a time.

I was trying to get the effect with Fly In, which didn't work one at a time, and had settled for appear. > Give the graph an entrance animation of Wipe (from bottom) > Double click the entry in custom animation and in the chart animation tab [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> fly in all at once, but that's not what I want to do. Is there a way to >> have each bar fly in one at a time? Thanks. OK, now I have another question! Although the animation works correctly, there are extra animations that don't seem to do anything. I have graphs with 4 categories, each containing three bars. I have the animation set to work by category. Each category wipes in from the bottom with animations 1-4 as it should, but there's also a 5th animation that doesn't seem to do anything. When I delete it, the entire animation gets deleted. When in slideshow view, I have to click or arrow over for the extra animation to get to the next slide, so I'd like to get rid of it. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it? > That worked perfectly! Thank you. It was changing the Entrance to Wipe > that did it.

Double-click the chart to activate it, View|Datasheet, and select the 5th column and hit Ctrl+X to cut it. (Your remaining 4 categories will adjust to fill the space.) Unfortunatly, you can't remove the animation from one category without removing the animation for the entire chart, so I have a feeling this might be the issue.

Even though the 5th column was blank on the datasheet, Ctrl/X did apparently remove the extra column because the problem's now resolved. > Do you have an extra category in your chart? > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >>>>> it to fly in all at once, but that's not what I want to do.

I often run across these extraneous columns when cleaning up presentation files -- it happens to a lot of people, because it's so easy to delete the data but not realize that MS Graph still maintains space for it unless you sepecifically tell it not to.
