RE: transfer excel data to powerpoint document for a presentati
Hello Paula
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
You can do this, within reason. Obviously in PowerPoint you are confined by the amount of space you have available on a slide.
If you select the Excel data that you want to put into the PowerPoint presentation and copy it, go into PowerPoint and paste the data, you should see a little picture of a clipboard appear underneath the data you pasted into PowerPoint.
If you click on the clipboard, it will give you options of how to paste the data. Probably the Excel Table or Picture of Table options would be best.
If you select the Excel Table option, you will be able to double-click on the data and edit it using Excel, so if you wanted to adjust column or row sizes for example you would be able to do this.
The other way to do this is instead of pasting a copy of the data into PowerPoint, you could link to the spreadsheet instead.
I hope this helps.
Amanda
