How to Convert Excel to PPT with AI | Powerdrill Bloom Use Case

Introduction

Turning Excel spreadsheets into polished PowerPoint presentations is a task most professionals know too well. Whether it's for team updates, client reports, or executive reviews, the process is often repetitive and time-consuming. Manually creating charts, formatting slides, and ensuring data consistency can easily take hours.

This is where AI-powered automation steps in. With Powerdrill Bloom, you can transform raw Excel data into structured, visually appealing presentations in just a few clicks.

Why Use AI to Convert Excel into PPT?

Manually moving from Excel to PPT is not just about formatting—it's about communicating insights clearly. AI changes the game by:

• Boosting Efficiency: Automatically extracts key data and generates charts.

• Professional Formatting: Creates slides that are consistent and visually appealing.

• Real-Time Updates: Refreshes presentations whenever the underlying Excel file changes.

• Lowering Barriers: Eliminates the need for design or advanced analytics expertise.

With AI, you don't just save time—you elevate the quality of your presentations.

What Is Powerdrill Bloom?

Powerdrill Bloom is an AI-powered visual analytics canvas designed to make exploring and presenting data feel as intuitive as thinking—without the manual effort.

• Upon uploading your data (e.g., spreadsheets), Bloom's intelligent agents immediately clean, interpret, and surface insights—saving you from guesswork and data prep .

• In seconds, it proposes three smart exploration paths, each offering a distinct way to dive into trends, patterns, or anomalies within your dataset .

• The magic happens in a modular, visual canvas: auto-generated charts, plain‑language insights, and interactive prompts form flexible "cards" that you can freely move, group, and build upon—creating a visual, thought‑driven analysis experience .

• As you explore, Bloom captures your analytical flow (charts, questions, observations) and automatically assembles them into a structured PowerPoint presentation—no copy‑and‑paste required .

• It's already being used by product managers, marketers, sales teams, founders, execs, and other non‑technical users to uncover and present insights without SQL or BI tool expertise .

Why It Stands Out

In essence, Powerdrill Bloom transforms how professionals engage with data—making exploration intuitive, flexible, and seamlessly turning analysis into narrative without extra steps.

Convert Excel to PPT: a Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Upload Your Excel and Let Bloom Automatically Analyze Your Data

Here we use a film dataset as the data example.

1. Log in to Powerdrill Bloom, and click "Start Blooming".

   

2. Upload your file.

Then, let Bloom automatically explore your data.

Here's the result:

Bloom provides three exploration paths:

Domestic vs. Foreign Revenue Dynamics

• Trend: Domestic share of revenue is declining at about 0.91 percentage points per year.

• Foreign Share:

  • Extremely high (95%–99%) in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean titles.

  • Particularly strong in Action/Adventure genres, where foreign share is around 65%.

• Insight: Global titles, especially from East Asia, are taking an increasing share of revenue, while domestic dominance is weakening year over year.

Genre and Hybrid Genre Performance

• Top Performers:

  • Adventure genre shows the highest revenue impact, marked as high priority (~260B).

  • Action / Adventure / Sci-Fi blends also contribute significantly (~63B).

• Foreign-Leaning Genres:

  • Event genres like Adventure, Action, and Fantasy show a foreign-majority share, meaning they perform better internationally than domestically.

Insight: Genre choice heavily influences international performance, with adventure-driven content being the most profitable worldwide.

Ratings and Demand Signals Elasticity

• Vote Elasticity: Reviews have a moderate impact (elasticity score 0.378).

• Rating Drift: Ratings show a medium priority drift score of 0.72.

• High Correlation: Titles with both high ratings and high vote counts strongly link to revenue impact (~248B).

• Insight: Audience demand signals (ratings + volume of engagement) directly tie to higher box office or revenue outcomes, reinforcing the importance of critical reception and user engagement.

You can click "View" to see the details.

If you feel the current exploration results are already sufficient, simply click “Generate Slides” on the upper-right corner to instantly convert the selected exploration into a ready-to-use PowerPoint presentation.

This way, you can decide whether to keep analyzing or move straight into creating a polished deck for your next meeting.

Step 2: Explore More

Once the first round of insights is generated, Bloom lets you dig deeper into more nuanced patterns.

For example, after we click the "Dig deeper" in the "Genre and Hybrid Genre Performance" card, further exploration revealed three key dimensions:

1. Franchise Tentpoles and Foreign Dependence

• High Foreign Dependence: Tentpole films (especially Adventure $195.7B and Action $166.1B) skew heavily toward foreign markets.

• Weighted Foreign Share: ~64.7%, confirming reliance on international audiences.

• Growing Tentpole Dominance: Share of worldwide grosses for tentpoles rose from 61.8% in 2019 to 60.8% in 2024, highlighting the increasing role of large franchises in global box office performance.

2. Hybrid-Genre Blend ROI Sweet Spots

• Strong Correlation: Votes and world gross show a 0.718 correlation; optimal blends with 3.3k–10.5k votes perform best globally.

• Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi Blends: Identified as high priority, generating ROI advantages (~$572.7M).

• Domestic vs. Foreign Mix: Weighted foreign share 61.4%, compared to domestic 38.6%, showing that genre-blending strategies resonate more with global markets than local ones.

3. Post-2010 and Post-2020 Genre Resilience

• Shift After 2010s & COVID: Market resilience patterns changed with globalization and pandemic impact.

• Horror as a Winner:

  • Share rose from 1.95% in 2010s to 2.91% in 2020s, proving genre resilience and adaptability.

  • Horror's domestic strength remains solid at 48.6%, compared to the era average of 33.2%.

• Insight: Certain genres (like horror) can outperform broader market downturns, maintaining consistent domestic appeal even as global trends shift.

Step 3: Convert the Results into PPT

Here's how it works:

1. Click “Favorite” on each card you'd like to include in your presentation.

   

2. Open “Favorite Nodes” at the bottom of the screen.

   

3. Select “Generate Slides.”

   

4. Choose the nodes you want to add and click “Next.”

   

5. Pick a PPT theme and click “Start Generating Slides.”

   

Once the deck is generated, simply go to “Slides Generation” at the bottom to download your presentation.

The result is a polished, professional slide deck — automatically built from your chosen insights.
