How to make Harvey balls in Google Slides.

Harvey balls are a qualitative comparison matrix: each cell holds a circle filled from empty to full (typically 0–4) instead of a number, so a grid of criteria against options reads at a glance. It's a consulting staple for feature or vendor comparisons, and Google Slides has no way to draw one natively; people fake it with a table of manually inserted shapes.

  1. 1

    Insert a ChartKit Harvey ball

    Pick Harvey Ball from the chart menu; each cell renders as a circle filled to its rating on a 0–4 scale.

  2. 2

    Set the ratings and style it

    Type a rating per cell in the grid; fill colour and stroke apply from your palette, and the whole matrix stays editable on the slide.
