What's the best practice for this?
the table under the football field. Do you create it using individual boxes (formatting will be painful) or do you use the table tool for this (can't figure out how to do it)?
Please let me know what the easiest method is. I'm going to go with using individual boxes for now.

Make the table and leave some empty space on the top row where you can put individual boxes at the top.
use excel
I'd think the analyst used excel, and this is probably the easiest way to do it. Those are probably just small width/height cells rather than borders.
It's a pain in powerpoint, but remember that arrange objects top, middle and center are your friend! (Alt-H-G-A and then T or M or C).
BAML might've had a template or algorithm to spit out these slides (im not sure)
At my bank this is done in excel. IMO this would be way easier done in excel than ppt.
Blank columns and rows
Excel
oh god seeing this chart is going to give me nightmare for days... this is definitely made in excel and you better believe making this in excel is going to save your sanity down the road.
that 15% ebitda margin is going to magically turn into 20% due to "future SG&A synergies" and you're going to have to update that PPT in 50 places if this isn't made in excel AND linked to the model properly.
Yes presentation can do them... but was always best practice to link to model.
Probably done by the presentation guys anyway. This is exactly the job that should be outsourced to them. There's no use in spending an hour formatting some stupid boxes or slides in general.
