Both. PowerPoint + Excel can do some pretty good charts. You need to put time & effort into custom themes to really make it work. Using custom themes keeps colors and styles consistent across charts and slides, with smarter defaults so you don’t have to make as many manual changes. I’ve found it quickly breaks down when you push beyond the canned styles or try to apply them to more complex data (e.g. more than 5 categories). Then you have to move to something like Plotly. As always, your data graphics are only as good as your data. Make sure you’re working from clean tables to ensure you don’t start making errors.
