Since your Focused timelines started out as duplicates of the High-Level slide imported from Excel, you now have a big advantage: the slides are all linked to your. This is what our plan looks like divided into several visuals: Repeat until you’re done splitting your Excel data across multiple slides. When done, go to your High-level slide again, duplicate it, and remove all unneeded items from the duplicate to create your second Focused timeline. In our example, we’ll keep just the “Plan” swimlane and a few timescale milestones. With this new slide selected, go to Edit Data on the Office Timeline ribbon.įrom the Edit Data window, delete all items you don’t want to display on your first Focused timeline.


Here you’ll keep the first set of data you want to showcase out of all your tasks and milestones. The duplicate slide created will become one of your “Focused” timelines. Simply right-click its thumbnail on the left side of the screen and choose “Duplicate Slide”: Style the resulting timeline as you wish (we’ll call this one the High-Level timeline), and then duplicate the whole slide. Import your project’s data from Excel into PowerPoint using Office Timeline. This can be useful when your data is too complex to fit on a single slide or when you wish to showcase some of your project’s phases on separate (focused) timelines. Using Office Timeline’s Import feature, you can easily split your Excel plan across multiple PowerPoint timeline slides.
