Pharma executives can integrate secure, branded Excel animations into PowerPoint for impactful client presentations by following a few key steps:
1. Export Excel Charts as Animated GIFs
First, you can create your desired chart or graphic in Excel and then export it as an animated GIF. This can be done using a variety of software tools available online. Once you have your animated GIF, you can easily insert it into your PowerPoint presentation while maintaining the animation.
2. Use PowerPoint’s Embed Function
PowerPoint has an excellent feature that allows you to embed Excel worksheets and charts directly into your slides. With this feature, any changes you make to your Excel data can be readily updated in the PowerPoint presentation, ensuring that your information is always up-to-date. To do this, go to the Insert tab on the PowerPoint ribbon, select ‘Object’, then ‘Create from file’, and browse to your Excel file. Check ‘Link’ to ensure your data stays synchronized.
3. Apply Branding to Your Animations
It’s essential that your animations reflect your brand’s identity. You can customize the colors, fonts, and other visual aspects of your Excel animations to align with your company’s branding guidelines. This can be done within Excel before exporting the GIF or within PowerPoint using the design tools provided.
4. Ensure Security
When sharing PowerPoint presentations, it’s crucial to secure your data, especially when it contains sensitive information. PowerPoint allows you to password-protect your presentations to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, when embedding Excel files, ensure to only link the necessary data and sanitize the file to remove any hidden or sensitive information.
