I want to draw this chart using SmartArt but haven't found how to, since it combines vertical and horizontal layouts. I also need to have two bubbles for item/entry. Does anyone know how to do that? Some help would be much appreciated.

PS: I draw the chart in the image on a web site called draw.io, but can't export that to ppt.

Microsoft VISO is what I would use for this, and most likely the Organizational Chart template.

This would be possible using SmartArt graphics in PowerPoint. There is a category for Hierarchy which allows you to create org chart type graphics.

Let me know if you require further assistance.

You are right I missed that.

I doubt if you could do this in smart art (prove me wrong by all means!). Personally I'd use rounded rectangle and connectors and draw it in PowerPoint I think

This is how I "think" that it can be done.



Sorry about the image size I can fix it later if is too large.

I'd use SmartArt to create the basis of the chart you need and then yes I'd fill in the gaps with shapes & connectors. SmartArt won't give you this exact chart "straight out the box" but you could certainly save a bunch of time by creating the basis of it using SmartArt and then customise/addon where you need with shapes & connectors.

With PPT 2013 it is a lot easier to do a chart like this, as you know a lot of the tools are hidden to a degree. Thanks for the information I will be using it a lot from now on.
