Making a chart look different involves so much because each chart has almost 10 or more elements that contribute to its appearance. If you start formatting all these 10 elements individually, it will take a long time to get results. And the same attributes will be difficult to apply to any other chart within the same presentation. The saviour in this case can be the amazing Chart Styles option in PowerPoint 2013. These Chart Styles include pre-defined combinations for various chart elements and include effects and layouts that can change the look of your chart completely. And all these styles are based on Office Themes. Just a couple of clicks can make your charts look distinctive.

To combat these cons, you may want to explore some advanced options that let you format your Data Table exactly as you want.
