Creating Venn Diagrams in PowerPoint

Mr. Clapp explains how to create Venn diagrams in PowerPoint, emphasizing their qualitative nature. He guides through inserting shapes, adjusting transparency, and adding text boxes to represent different data sets. The tutorial highlights the simplicity of using PowerPoint for this task, as opposed to Excel, due to the non-quantitative nature of Venn diagrams.

Why does Mr. Clapp suggest using PowerPoint for Venn diagrams instead of Excel?
