How to Create a Multi-Level PowerPoint Chart from Raw Data?

Understanding the relationship between two or more variables is a common need across data analysis. One of the most efficient ways to do this is by using multi-level (or layered) charts, often built from crosstab-style data structures.

Traditionally, tools like Excel or SPSS require users to build pivot tables for each chart individually – a process that quickly becomes repetitive and time-consuming when working across multiple views or reports.

With Chartrics Chart Maker, you can create multi-variable charts directly in PowerPoint by simply dragging and dropping your variables into the canvas. No need to build separate pivot tables or switch between tools. You can save up to 70% of your time by generating all your cross-variable visuals from one connected dataset – fully formatted and presentation-ready.

Creating layered charts in Chartrics is simple and intuitive — just follow these quick steps directly inside PowerPoint:
