How do you guys make really sexy line charts for pitches?

Whenever I try to make them in excel, they come out like dogshit.

Is there some software out there that all those equity researchers use for their reports? Whenever I look at their line charts, I can't believe they were made with excel. They look too damn good.

Also, even if you somehow get a nicely formatted chart - you just have to make it all over again (including reformatting). Is there a way to save these templates so you dont have to fuck with the axis options for 20minutes every time?

Help :(
