Graph and Table Chart

Is there a way of creating a side by side graph and table
in powerpoint?

Essentially what it would show is the name of 15 cities
with a horizontal bar graph showing sales beside it and
then a table beside that would be information relating to
each city. It all needs to line up though.

Eg. Offers Offers Sales
Program1? Program2? Man
Yes/No Yes/No

Toronto _________ No Yes Hung
Montreal ___________ Yes Yes Chow
New York _________________ No Yes Smith
Chicago ________ No No Jones
Los Angeles __________ Yes Yes Hart

Each undersore is a bar chart and obviously if gridlines
could be put in for both part 1 and the chart lined up it
would help.

Thanks all.
 
There's really nothing in PPT/MS Graph designed for this, so I think your
best bet will be to put in textboxes and lines to fake the table beside the
graph. After you create it all, just group everything so it doesn't jostle
around.

Or you could use the "show data table" thing in Chart/Chart Options to
create kind of a dummy table below the graph. Then back on the PPT slide,
ungroup the graph and move the table pieces to the appropriate place and
input the data you want.
 
Thanks.

Actually I found an old copy of Harvard Graphics 98 that
can do this but that won't help with my powerpoint
presentation. Is there a way powerpoint can import graphs
from Harvard Graphics?

If Harvard Graphics will export images, you could insert that image into
PPT.

Otherwise, I don't think so, but hopefully someone will pop in and confirm.

In Powerpoint you can insert Harvard Graphics
presentations. Click Insert, Object, Harvard Graphics 98
Presentation and open it from the file. Again it saves it
as an object though so you can't actually manipulate the
data in powerpoint.

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]
[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

If none of the suggestions provided give you the functionality that you
were looking for or, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have
suggestions for how and why you think PowerPoint should provide this
functionality (or make it easier), don't forget to send your feedback (in
YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
