states plus European countries you should display countries or states/provinces, but not multiple “region types” on the same map.
That said, Maps have some important limitations.įirst, they do not work well when displaying something like U.S. states:Īnd here’s one that displays European countries:Īnd here’s one that displays specific provinces within France: Here’s one example that displays Canadian provinces and U.S. You can enter a wide variety of different regions in this window, and PowerPoint does a good job of “figuring out” the correct way to display them.
In most cases, though, you want to do something much simpler, such as displaying a company’s countries of operations or the states in which it owns properties. If you wanted to, you could display all 195 countries in the world and make each one a slightly different color. To do this, right-click the Map, go to “Select Data,” and change the “Chart Data Range” to a bigger area: If you want to use more than 12 locations, you can do so easily – contrary to what some online sources say about PowerPoint Maps being “limited” to 12 places. might be displayed in a light shade of blue, Brazil will be in a dark shade of blue, and Mexico will be in a medium shade of blue.īy default, this Map uses 12 locations based on 13 rows of data in Excel (1 header row and 12 data rows): This numerical scale will change the color of each country based on its “rating” relative to the minimum and maximum.įor example, if you enter 1 for the U.S., 10 for Brazil, and 5 for Mexico, the U.S. This will bring up a Map visual and an Excel window that lets you enter countries, states/provinces, and other areas, and enter a “strength” for each one on a numerical scale. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent shortcut in the Mac version of PowerPoint, so you’ll have to click the “Insert” tab in the ribbon menu and click on “Chart” there. To insert a Map in the 365 version of PowerPoint, press Alt, N, C, 1 for “Insert Chart” and select “Map” on the left-hand side (press Alt, release it, press N, release it, press C, release it, and press 1 and release it).

If you’re using the 365 version of PowerPoint, there is a built-in “Map” type that you can use immediately.
