Right click on the chart and select Custom Animation.
Click Add Effect > Entrance > Wipe.
Double click on the added effect.
Select Chart Animation tab.
Under Group chart, click on the dropdown and select By element in category
or By Series in category.
Click Ok.
Set the Start as "After Previous" if you want the effects to animate
automatically during slide show.
Is that what you want?
