How to embed visualizations in PowerPoint presentations

You can embed interactive Datawrapper visualizations in your PowerPoint presentations. This is particularly useful for adding interactive visualizations (such as zoomable maps), live-updating visualizations (using Datawrapper's external data features) or visualizations using your custom styles directly within your PowerPoint presentations.

To embed your visualizations, follow the steps below:


1

Click on 'Insert' and on 'Get Add-ins'

Copy your visualization's URL

You can find the URL of your visualization in the fourth step in Datawrapper (Publish & embed). Make sure to copy the Visualization only URL. Please copy the URL without the https:// prefix, as that is already included by the Web Viewer add-in automatically.

Once you have copied the URL into the URL text field in PowerPoint, click Preview to load your visualization:

View your visualization

After clicking  Preview, the interactive visualization will appear within your presentation:
