A quick note on the Morph feature
To create Morph transitions, you need PowerPoint for the web, PowerPoint 2019 or PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. Other versions of PowerPoint can play Morph transitions but can't create them.

  • This is beyond awesome. Really really enjoyed it. Will watch all of your other videos as well.
  • Very interesting idea. The custom guide is very smart. And your color palette looks gorgeous on those graphs.

    Thank you for sharing! Your tutorial is very useful. I actually learned more than just to animate the bar chart 😁
  • I liked this video! Pretty easy and simple instructions. You've earned a new subscriber. 😊
  • Great and easy to follow tutorial. I love it will be using this in my presentations.

    you've done all the work and it now works beautifully and you are proud of yourself. one day later, manager: now make the circles a little bit smaller, and maybe change the color on the left one. now you need to update many things from the scratch, that's the problem with having something this sophisticated in work environments. one week later, let's put in the new numbers, then when realizing it's hand-moved, they would just say: "your chart is broken", instead of appreciating anything that you did, sometimes they just prove that they don't deserve any!
  • This looks great! I love the trick with the "ruler" blocks on the left side to get the percentages to snap in place. Awesome! 😄

    Nice. Thabnks for tutorial

    Great tut! Is there any way to change the font color in a negative bar graph? The main bar chart font color is white, but one the categories is showing negative and you can't see the white number. Thanks!

    Amazing content, Thanks Is it also possible to design a chart from scratch and connect it to Excel, so every time you change the Excel file, get a chart accordingly (with or without animation)

    Thanks so much! My transition wasn't working as well to start, until I realized I need to group the objects prior to duplicating the slide and morphing... if yours isnt working make sure you double check that!

    Hey Dale, so I'm trying to add a 3rd slide and move some of the bars down and others up and change the percentage number. However when I change the number and click the morph button, the bars I made changes to simplify fade into place and not morph. Would you happen to know why? And how I can fix it. Thanks
