Updating Excel Charts in Powerpoint

Is it possible to insert a chart into Powerpoint which is linked to existing data or an existing chart in an Excel Workbook, and which can be synchronised to update as the underlying data is modified?

RE: Updating Excel Charts in Powerpoint

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your question.

The answer is Yes.

If you copy the Excel chart, switch to a blank slide in PowerPoint, then use Paste Special - Paste Link as an Excel Chart object and click OK.

Then update the changes to the presentation by clicking the save button.

If there were then changes to the excel chart figures, the next time you re-open the Presentation, you will be asked to update the links which you will respond Update Links.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

PowerPoint tip:

Adding Slide Numbers in PowerPoint 2010

Here's how to number your PowerPoint 2010 presentation slides:

1) Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon
2) Click on the Slide Number button and the Header and Footer box will open
3) Select Options
4) Check the box for Slide number
5) Slide numbers will now automatically appear on all PowerPoint slides in the bottom right hand corner

The great thing about numbering your PowerPoint slides is that if you rearrange the slides into a different order PowerPoint numbers the slides again to display the new correct slide number.
