Does anyone know of some good (cheap) chart software compatible with Excel (so I can drop a spreadsheet in the programme and then it spits out the chart) that can make cool/slick/businessy charts - similar to the ones in the FT?

If you are looking to essentially include Excel spreadsheets into Powerpoint style presentations, I would recommend the obvious first: MS Office, followed by NeoOffice (the Mac version of OpenOffice).

I do a lot of chart work, and frequently dump excel spreadsheets into Powerpoint charts. It works well and can be effective if used properly.
