Nice and slick, thanks for sharing Michael. I know many of us grumble about the lack of animation effects in SL but this is an example of how simple it can be to think outside the box, i.e mask the bar animations as they enter the slide, to create something a bit different. Just takes a bit of trial and error.
Thanks for the suggestion Simon; Here's a line chart; same chart, just no bars...

I didn't make a suggestion Michael I was commenting on the value of thinking outside the box to create little visual tricks, i.e the way you masked the bars on entry (behind what I call the footer as it's at the bottom of the slide).
I'm not sure if you tried to delete your post (which you can do immediately after posting, but after that there is no delete option). If you need some assistance, please let us know!
I know this thread is a bit older, but I didn't have any issues downloading the latest file shared above and reattached it here. If there is a specific link or document you're having difficulty accessing can you let us know which one and we'll try to update it here for you?
Hi Ashley,
I have tested the line chart and it works now, thank you.
The Bar Chart link [image: Inline image 1]does not work!! Which is what I
was after. Attached please find the output error every time I click on
it.[image:

Look forward to your solution.

Thanks Carmelo - glad you were able to download it and get it working! If you see that error message again I'd look at doing a "save as" as a part of the download as we've seen users run into that error randomly but it's been user and browser specific.

BTW, I like your second version as well!
Thanks Simon,
I know, but once the original was done, only took 5 mins tat clone and alter it... Figured I'd do so...

Thanks Michael for sharing it here!
Hey, Simon, can you "not" make some more suggestions to Michael that he can then share with us?
Tx, Michael!
