Top 12 AI Presentation Makers for Business (September 2026)

Business decks are judged by a board, a client or an investor, and they live on as PowerPoint files. We ranked twelve AI presentation tools on what companies actually buy for: decision-ready layouts, sourced numbers, PowerPoint fidelity, brand control, published security and admin features, price per seat and Arabic support.

Top 12 AI presentation makers for business, September 2026 — cover ranking NOXI, Microsoft Copilot, Beautiful.ai, Pitch and Prezent for company decks
Listen to article 2:32

TL;DR — the business shortlist

  • Best overall for business decks: NOXI — analytical, decision-ready layouts, sources on the slide, a PowerPoint file built by its own export engine that matches the slide you approved, strong Arabic, and free for every seat.
  • Best if you already pay for Microsoft 365: Copilot in PowerPoint — native files, your brand kit, admin and data protection through your Microsoft tenant; $21–$30 per user a month on top of Microsoft 365.
  • Best for regulated enterprises that want brand control plus human help: Prezent — SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, SSO and locked brand templates, sold on custom contracts.
  • Best for Google Workspace companies: Gemini in Slides — full multi-slide decks since June 2026, included in Business Standard and above (English-only at launch).
  • Best for consultants who live in Excel charts: think-cell — the charting standard, now with an AI add-on (think-cell Assist).

Quick answer: for most businesses the best AI presentation maker in September 2026 is NOXI. It builds decision-ready decks (action titles, strategy houses, scorecards, Gantt charts, real data charts), puts a source link under each researched figure, and exports a PowerPoint file that matches the slide, with fonts embedded, at no cost per seat. If your IT policy requires everything to run inside Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Copilot in PowerPoint or Gemini in Slides is the practical second choice.

Disclosure: this ranking is published by NOXI, and NOXI is ranked first. To keep it fair we publish our criteria and weights, score NOXI low where it is weak (it does not list enterprise features such as SSO or an admin console, and we do not claim them), give every competitor its real strengths, and link the official pricing and security pages behind every figure. Prices and plans change often; check each vendor before you buy.

How this list differs from our general ranking

Our general ranking of the best AI presentation makers asks which tool makes the best deck for anyone. This page asks a narrower question: which tool should a company roll out to its people? A business buyer cares less about draft speed and more about whether the output survives a board or a client, whether the PowerPoint file works for the next person who opens it, whether the tool fits brand and IT policy, and what it costs across hundreds of seats.

So some tools move. Copilot, Prezent, Pitch and think-cell rank higher here because admin, brand control and native files matter at work; Gamma and Canva, excellent general tools, slide down. Scale is the reason it matters: the 2Slides State of AI Presentations 2026 report estimates roughly 47 million AI-generated business decks a month. A company's real risk is not "no deck", it is thousands of decks with unsourced numbers, off-brand layouts and files that break.

How we ranked: seven business criteria

We scored each tool on seven criteria, weighted by what typically decides a business purchase in our editorial judgement. This is editorial scoring, not a lab benchmark: we checked each vendor's official product, pricing, help and security pages in September 2026, used the tools where a free or trial plan allowed, and scored what vendors publish, not what a sales call promises.

CriterionWeightWhat we checked
Decision-ready output25 %Analytical layouts, action titles
PowerPoint fidelity20 %File matches slide
Sourced numbers15 %Sources on slide
Brand consistency10 %Templates, locked themes
Security & admin10 %Published SSO, data policy
Price per seat10 %Free plan, seat cost
Multilingual & Arabic10 %RTL layouts, languages

Decision-ready output (25 %) means action titles that state the conclusion, analytical layouts — strategy houses, 2×2 matrices, funnels, Gantt timelines, scorecards, charts from data — and one message per slide; our guide to consulting-style slides explains why. PowerPoint fidelity (20 %): does the exported .pptx keep the layout, editable text and fonts, or does the tool work inside PowerPoint in the first place? Sourced numbers (15 %): 2026 hallucination benchmarks find even frontier models invent statistics roughly 3–18 % of the time depending on the task, so we credited only tools that put the source on the slide or pull from a named data provider.

Brand consistency (10 %): company templates, shared themes, locked colours and fonts. Security and admin (10 %): only what vendors publish — SSO, SCIM, admin roles, SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and a clear statement on whether your data trains AI models; no published statement, no credit. Price per seat (10 %): list price of the tier with business features, and whether a usable free plan exists. Multilingual including Arabic (10 %): language support and whether Arabic layouts actually mirror right-to-left rather than just right-aligning text.

The 12 best AI presentation makers for business, ranked

1. NOXI Editor's pick

Best for: strategy, finance, sales and leadership teams that need decks a board or client will act on — and companies that want every employee to have access without buying seats.

NOXI is built around the business deck. Give it a question, an outline or your own files — a PDF report, a Word memo, notes, a data table — and it builds the layouts decision-makers expect: strategy houses, funnels, Gantt timelines, scorecards, comparison tables and real data charts. Where your material has gaps, it researches the topic and puts the source link for each figure on the slide itself, so "where is that number from?" is answered before the board asks. See AI presentations with research and citations.

Editing works two ways: change any element by chat ("rewrite these titles as conclusions", "turn this into a waterfall") or by hand in a drag-and-drop presentation editor. Brand templates keep a team's decks consistent. The PowerPoint file matches the slide: NOXI builds the .pptx with its own export engine rather than converting a PDF, with live text and embedded fonts — explained in the section below. Arabic works at design level: right-to-left layouts mirror, typography is correct, mixed Arabic and English numbers display properly, and you can keep separate English and Arabic versions of a deck. Everything is free — no watermark, no export paywall — with Claude Opus and GPT-5.5 for content and Nano Banana Pro for images.

Where it falls short for business: NOXI does not list enterprise administration features such as SSO, SCIM or an admin console, so it scores low on that criterion; if your policy requires them, confirm what is available before rollout. Charts arrive in PowerPoint exactly as designed but are not editable chart objects with a data sheet, export needs a free sign-in, and a large deck takes a few minutes.

Pros: decision-ready analytical layouts · sources on the slide · own PowerPoint engine with embedded fonts · works on your files · Arabic RTL · free for every seat.
Cons: no published SSO/admin console · charts not native PowerPoint chart objects · younger than the incumbents.

Price: free. Compare: NOXI vs Gamma; for sales teams, AI sales decks.

2. Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint — best for Microsoft 365 companies

Best for: organisations standardised on Microsoft 365.

Copilot works inside PowerPoint, so there is no export step, and it inherits your tenant's identity, permissions and compliance controls. It creates a presentation from a prompt or up to five reference files (Word, PDF, Excel and more), writes speaker notes, generates images and edits open decks. For brand owners the Brand Kit matters most: with "strict brand adherence" on, Copilot is restricted to your approved template and slide master layouts. Microsoft states that prompts, responses and Graph data are not used to train foundation models, and Arabic is on Copilot's supported-language list.

The limits: no researched sources on the slide, and layouts are solid-corporate rather than analytical. It is also an add-on — Microsoft 365 Copilot is $30 per user a month paid yearly; Copilot Business for smaller organisations lists at $21, with an $18 first-year promotion on annual plans bought July–December 2026 — on top of a qualifying Microsoft 365 licence.

Pros: native PowerPoint · strict brand-kit mode · tenant security and admin · works from your files · Arabic supported.
Cons: no sourced research · corporate layouts · paid add-on per user.

In depth: Copilot vs Gemini vs ChatGPT for presentations.

3. Beautiful.ai (Team / Enterprise) — best for consistent team decks

Best for: marketing, sales and agency teams that want consistent decks without a designer.

The Smart Slide engine adjusts spacing and hierarchy as you type, and the Team plan adds shared custom themes, a central template library, collaboration, admin controls and "brand guardrails" that can lock colours, fonts and logos and decide who may export. A PowerPoint add-in offers "Save as Editable PowerPoint"; editable export is on paid plans.

It is design-led rather than analysis-led: no research or citations, and auto-layout limits free-form editing. Official pricing: Pro $14.50 a month billed annually; Team $40 per user a month annually ($50 monthly) for 2–20 users; Enterprise is custom and adds SAML SSO, audit events and user provisioning. No permanent free plan.

Pros: strong brand guardrails · Smart Slide consistency · editable PowerPoint export · add-in.
Cons: no sourced research · constrained editing · $40/user Team price.

4. Pitch — best for sales and customer-facing teams

Best for: sales, partnerships and fundraising teams that send decks as links.

Pitch's business case is what happens after a deck is made: tracked links, engagement analytics, shared teamspaces and "pitch rooms" for prospects, with AI generation on every plan. It imports PowerPoint on all plans; PowerPoint export and custom fonts start on Plus; SAML SSO and SCIM are Enterprise-only.

It is lighter for analytical work — no sourced research, and AI runs on credits (500 a month on Plus and Team, 750 on Business). Official pricing, billed annually: Plus about 10 per seat a month, Team 15, Business 20 (up to 200 members), Enterprise custom from 30 seats; shown in euros or dollars by region.

Pros: link tracking and analytics · real-time collaboration · pitch rooms · PowerPoint import.
Cons: no sourced research · SSO only on Enterprise · AI credit limits.

5. Prezent — best for regulated enterprises

Best for: large companies — life sciences, financial services — where brand compliance, certifications and expert help outweigh price.

Prezent is the most enterprise-shaped product here: AI generation plus a large business-slide library, enforced brand templates, PowerPoint and Google Slides integration and, on higher tiers, human specialists who build decks overnight. Its security page lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2023, GDPR and CCPA, single sign-on, role-based access, audit trails and logically separated customer instances; its pricing page states customer data is not used for training.

The trade-offs are cost and agility: the entry Lite plan is listed at $399 and the Premium, Pro and Custom tiers are quoted, so it suits procurement-led rollouts. Sourced research on the slide is not a core feature.

Pros: SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 · SSO, RBAC, audit trails · strict brand compliance · expert services.
Cons: quote-based and expensive · heavier onboarding · no sourced research.

6. Gamma (Business plan) — best for fast internal drafts and web decks

Best for: teams that share decks as web links and value speed over PowerPoint delivery.

Gamma is one of the most-used AI presentation tools and still the fastest route to a polished draft. Its Business plan is $40 per member a month, billed annually, with SSO through your identity provider, admin controls, shared company themes, a locked training opt-out so your data is never used for training, and SOC 2 documentation on request; a cheaper Team plan sits below it.

The limits: no research or citations, lighter analytical layouts, and because Gamma designs in flexible web cards, the PowerPoint file is a translation — its help centre notes exports reflect Present Mode and lists scaling and chart-alignment issues to check. The free plan exports PPTX and PDF with a "Made with Gamma" badge.

Pros: fastest first draft · SSO and locked training opt-out on Business · shared themes · web decks.
Cons: no sourced research · PowerPoint export needs checking · $40/member for SSO.

7. Canva (Business / Enterprise) — best for marketing-led companies

Best for: teams that make social posts, brochures, videos and the occasional deck in one place.

Canva's value is breadth: a vast template library, AI generation, brand kits and an editor most employees know. Canva Business (successor to Canva Teams) is $250 per person a year, with team admin tools and up to 100 brand kits; Enterprise (custom) adds SSO/SCIM and brand controls. Canva AI supports Arabic, and pages can be mirrored for right-to-left text.

For decision decks it is a design tool first: template-driven AI, no research, analytical frameworks built by hand, SSO only on Enterprise.

Pros: huge template library · familiar editor · brand kits · Arabic AI and page mirroring.
Cons: no sourced research · light analytical layouts · SSO only on Enterprise.

8. Google Gemini in Slides — best for Google Workspace companies

Best for: organisations that run on Google Workspace.

Since 30 June 2026 Gemini can create a full multi-slide presentation in Google Slides from one prompt: it plans first, lets you edit the outline, grounds the deck in Drive files, can match an existing deck's style and produces editable native slides. It is included in Business Standard and Plus and Enterprise Standard and Plus; Business Standard lists at $14 per user a month annually in the US. Google states Workspace content is not used to train generative AI models outside your domain without permission, and SSO and admin come with Workspace.

The limits: multi-slide generation launched in English (US) only, there is no research beyond your files, and the design ceiling is Google Slides.

Pros: included in Workspace Standard+ · grounded in Drive · native slides · Workspace admin and data commitments.
Cons: English-only multi-slide at launch · no sourced research · Slides design ceiling.

9. Plus AI — best add-in for teams that won't switch apps

Best for: teams that want AI inside Google Slides or PowerPoint with company templates.

Plus AI is an add-in for both Google Slides and PowerPoint, so output is native. Its Team plan ($30 per user a month annually, $40 monthly) adds team-wide branding and templates; Enterprise adds SSO, user management and asset libraries. Plus AI states SOC 2 Type II compliance with encryption in transit and at rest; Basic and Pro run $10 and $20 a month annually.

It inherits the host app's design ceiling, does not research and cite, and its pricing page does not state a training policy — ask before rollout.

Pros: Slides and PowerPoint · team branding · SOC 2 Type II · no export step.
Cons: no sourced research · host-app design limits · SSO only on Enterprise.

More add-ins: the best AI PowerPoint add-ins.

10. think-cell — best for consulting charts in PowerPoint

Best for: consultants, bankers and analysts who maintain data-heavy decks.

think-cell is not a deck generator; it is the charting and layout add-in many consulting and finance teams treat as standard — waterfalls, Gantt and Mekko charts, charts linked to Excel. Its AI arrives as think-cell Assist, an add-on to think-cell Suite with AI chat, charts from Excel data, text editing, translation and data research from verified sources such as Statista inside PowerPoint. think-cell states data is never used to train AI models; Assist requires a data processing agreement. Prices are not published on its ordering page — buy via the customer portal, sales or resellers.

It complements rather than replaces a deck generator: it won't draft a storyline, but for native charts a colleague must keep editing, nothing is as mature.

Pros: consulting charting standard · data-linked charts · Assist with Statista research · no-training statement.
Cons: not a deck generator · AI needs Suite licence · pricing via sales.

11. Presentations.AI — best for high-volume standard decks

Best for: teams producing many similar decks — onboarding, sales sequences, updates.

Presentations.AI generates decks quickly from a prompt, document or URL and keeps a series consistent with brand colours and fonts. Its pricing page lists a free Starter plan (100 credits, up to 20 slides), Pro at $20 a month billed annually and Gold at $50, with PDF and PowerPoint download and, on Gold, custom templates and a shared knowledge base.

For business buyers the gaps are governance and substance: the pricing page lists no SSO, admin or enterprise security features, and there is no sourced research. Test the PowerPoint download on your template first.

Pros: fast volume generation · brand colours and fonts · affordable Pro.
Cons: no published SSO/admin · no sourced research · test export fidelity.

12. ChatGPT and Claude add-ins for PowerPoint — best for content work in existing decks

Best for: companies already licensing ChatGPT Business/Enterprise or Claude Team/Enterprise.

ChatGPT for PowerPoint is a sidebar that drafts from source material, revises slides and critiques a deck's story; OpenAI lists it from Free to Enterprise, subject to plan limits and workspace settings. ChatGPT Business is $20 per user a month annually ($25 monthly), includes SAML SSO, and Business data is not used for training by default. Claude for PowerPoint reads your layouts, fonts, colours and slide masters and edits within them; it is on Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Claude Team starts at $20 per seat a month annually; Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs and custom retention.

Their strength is reasoning — storylines, action titles, playing the sceptical CFO. Their weakness is design: new slides are plain, and neither reliably puts sources on the slide. Use them with a deck tool, not instead of one.

Pros: excellent reasoning · native editing in PowerPoint · business plans with SSO · respects masters (Claude).
Cons: plain slide design · no reliable sources on slides · usage limits by plan.

PowerPoint files that look exactly like your slides

For a business, the deck on screen is not the product — the file is. The board pack goes into a portal, the client deliverable into an email, the sales deck to the next account executive. If the .pptx does not match what you approved, someone spends the evening before the meeting fixing it.

Why this is hard for AI slide tools

Tools that work inside PowerPoint or Google Slides — Copilot, Gemini, Plus AI, think-cell and the ChatGPT and Claude add-ins — avoid the problem because they edit a native file. Most standalone AI presentation makers do not. They design in a web or card format and then have to squeeze the result into PowerPoint, typically by generating a PDF and converting it, or by exporting pictures of slides. That is why exported text often arrives split into fragments or as an image, fonts get swapped, layouts shift, and Arabic breaks into disconnected letters in the wrong order. Some vendors are open about it: Beautiful.ai offers a separate image-based PowerPoint export that is explicitly non-editable, and Gamma's help centre notes that exports reflect Present Mode rather than the editor.

What NOXI does instead

NOXI rebuilds every slide as real PowerPoint objects with its own export engine — it does not print a PDF and run it through a third-party converter. What you can check when you open the file:

The payoff is practical: you can send the .pptx to a client, a board or a regional office and it opens looking the way you approved it, and anyone can keep editing it. For Arabic decks it is the difference between a usable file and a broken one. This kind of export is rare among AI presentation makers, and in NOXI it is free.

Honest limits Charts arrive exactly as designed but are not editable PowerPoint chart objects with a data sheet — edit the numbers in NOXI and export again, or rebuild that chart in think-cell if a colleague must maintain it in PowerPoint. Export needs a free sign-in, and a large deck takes a few minutes because it is built slide by slide. Google Slides and Keynote do not use fonts embedded in a .pptx, so open the file in PowerPoint for exact fidelity.

Per-seat pricing compared (September 2026)

List prices from official pages for the tier a business typically buys, billed annually unless noted. Where prices are quoted or vary by region: check current pricing.

Two things stand out. SSO usually costs a tier jump — Gamma puts it on Business; Beautiful.ai, Pitch, Canva and Plus AI on Enterprise — so budget for the tier your security team will require. And the Microsoft and Google options are cheap per seat only if you already pay for the suite. For 50 people, $40 a seat is $24,000 a year; NOXI is $0 for the same team, so it can sit alongside whichever suite tool IT has bought.

What business buyers should check before rolling out an AI slide tool

Before an AI presentation tool reaches every laptop, run this checklist with IT, legal and the brand owner. Most answers are on vendors' security, pricing or help pages; if not, ask in writing.

  1. Data use and training policy.Is company content used to train AI models? Is the opt-out default or locked? Microsoft, Google, OpenAI Business, Gamma Business and think-cell publish no-training statements.
  2. Data location and retention.Regions, retention periods, sub-processors, and whether a data processing agreement is available.
  3. SSO and provisioning.SAML or OIDC sign-on, SCIM for joiners and leavers — and which plan includes them.
  4. Admin and audit.Roles, audit logs, control over who can export or share externally.
  5. Certifications.SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 reports under NDA; sector rules where relevant.
  6. Brand control.Upload your master template; check whether themes lock and the AI stays inside your layouts.
  7. File fidelity.Export a real 20-slide deck, open it on a colleague's machine, click the text, check fonts, charts and any Arabic slides.
  8. Sources on numbers.Ask for a market figure; see whether a source appears on the slide, then open it.
  9. Cost per seat at scale.Price the tier that includes SSO for your real headcount, plus any suite licence it needs.
  10. Languages.Test every language you present in, including right-to-left layouts.

A practical rollout: pilot two tools with one real deck each from finance, sales and strategy, score them on this list, and let the people who present to the board choose.

Board deck. Directors read the executive summary, then hunt for the weak number. Build from your finance pack in NOXI with action titles, a scorecard of options and a source under every figure; Copilot's strict brand-kit mode is the runner-up if the file must be built on your corporate master.

QBR. Mostly charts and variance explanations: upload the data export and let NOXI build the charts and "what changed and why" slides; Sheets or Excel-centric teams may prefer Gemini or Copilot next to the data.

Sales deck. NOXI for a sharp, on-brand story; Pitch if link tracking and pitch rooms drive your process. See our guide to AI sales decks.

Consulting deliverable. Action titles, issue tree, 2×2, Gantt plan, sources on every exhibit, delivered as .pptx: NOXI builds it; keep think-cell for data-linked charts the client will maintain.

Investor update. KPIs against plan, runway, asks — sourced and clean in NOXI, or sent as tracked links in Pitch. For fundraising, see the AI pitch deck generator guide.

Which one should you choose?

Microsoft 365 company already paying for Copilot: Copilot for everyday edits inside your master; NOXI for analytical, sourced decks whose .pptx then lives on in PowerPoint.

Google Workspace company: Gemini in Slides is included from Business Standard; add NOXI for Arabic, consulting layouts and PowerPoint files for external recipients.

Regulated enterprise with procurement: shortlist Prezent, Copilot and Gamma Business on published certifications and SSO; pilot NOXI on non-confidential material to compare output.

Startup or SME: NOXI for everyone at $0 a seat; ChatGPT or Claude for thinking through the storyline.

Consulting boutique: NOXI for the deck, think-cell for charts the client will maintain.

Arabic and English presenters: NOXI — mirrored RTL layouts, correct typography, fonts embedded in the file.

What changed this month

NOXI's own PowerPoint export engine is now live for all users, replacing conversion-based export with a .pptx built slide by slide from real PowerPoint objects. Earlier this summer, Gemini in Slides gained full multi-slide generation (30 June; promotional higher usage limits ran until 1 August, after which per-user limits apply), think-cell made its Assist AI add-on for think-cell Suite available, and Microsoft's Copilot Business promotion ($18 a user a month for the first year on annual plans) runs for purchases from July to December 2026.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI presentation maker for business in 2026?
For most companies, NOXI: decision-ready decks with analytical layouts and action titles, source links for researched figures on the slide, a PowerPoint file that matches the slide with fonts embedded, Arabic right-to-left layouts, and free for every seat. If everything must run inside Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Copilot in PowerPoint or Gemini in Slides is the practical second choice.
Which AI presentation tool is best for consulting decks?
NOXI generates the layouts consultants use — strategy houses, 2×2 matrices, funnels, Gantt timelines, scorecards and data charts — with sources on the slide and a clean .pptx. think-cell remains the standard for data-linked charts a client will keep editing in PowerPoint; ChatGPT or Claude help draft the storyline.
Is Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint worth it for a company?
If you already run Microsoft 365, often yes: it is native to PowerPoint, can be locked to your brand template, inherits your tenant's security, and Microsoft states prompts are not used to train foundation models. It costs $21 (Copilot Business) or $30 (Microsoft 365 Copilot) per user a month on top of Microsoft 365, and it does not put researched sources on the slide.
Which AI presentation tools offer SSO?
Copilot and Gemini inherit SSO from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Gamma includes it on Business; Beautiful.ai, Pitch, Canva and Plus AI on Enterprise; Prezent lists single sign-on with role-based access; ChatGPT Business includes SAML SSO. NOXI does not list SSO, so check your requirements before rollout.
Do AI presentation tools train on company data?
It depends on vendor and plan. Microsoft, Google Workspace, OpenAI (Business, by default), Gamma Business (locked opt-out), Prezent and think-cell publish statements that customer data is not used for training. Where a vendor's pages say nothing, ask in writing before uploading confidential material.
How much does an AI presentation tool cost per seat?
From $0 (NOXI) to about $40 per user a month for team plans with business features (Gamma Business, Beautiful.ai Team). Copilot is $21–$30 on top of Microsoft 365, Plus AI Team $30, Canva Business about $21, and Prezent and think-cell are priced through sales. Budget for the tier that includes the SSO your IT team requires.
Which AI presentation tool exports the cleanest PowerPoint?
Tools that work inside PowerPoint (Copilot, Plus AI, think-cell, the ChatGPT and Claude add-ins) have no export step. Among standalone AI presentation makers, NOXI builds the .pptx with its own engine: the file matches the slide, text is editable, fonts including Arabic are embedded and images keep full quality. Charts arrive as designed but are not native chart objects.
What is the best AI presentation tool for Arabic business decks?
NOXI, because it handles Arabic at design level: right-to-left layouts mirror, typography is correct, mixed Arabic and English numbers display properly and Arabic fonts are embedded in the PowerPoint file. Copilot supports Arabic prompts and Canva can mirror pages; Gemini's multi-slide generation launched in English (US) only.
What should a company check before rolling out an AI slide tool?
Data use and training policy, data location and retention, SSO and SCIM, admin roles and audit logs, certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, brand-template control, the fidelity of an exported .pptx on another machine, whether numbers carry sources, cost per seat at real headcount, and every language you present in.
Are charts editable after exporting a NOXI deck to PowerPoint?
Text in the exported file is live and editable, fonts are embedded and the layout matches the approved slide. Charts arrive exactly as designed but are not editable PowerPoint chart objects with a data sheet; to change the numbers, edit them in NOXI and export again, or rebuild that chart in PowerPoint or think-cell.
