In PowerPoint, you can always fill your chart’s data Series with a picture of your choice. However, the problem with this approach is that your picture will be squeezed in different ratios to fit into the Data Series. This discrepancy causes the columns to have squeezed fills, and that’s something that really does not get a higher aesthetic rating! There is a way to solve this issue, especially if your Column chart includes only one Data Series.

Learn how to make your chart columns to show the background fill in PowerPoint.
