Linking excel data

How do you link an excel file to a chart/graph within PowerPoint?

RE: Linking excel data

Hello Nicola

Thank you for your question.

The easiest way to do this would be to create the chart/graph in Excel, then copy it.

In PowerPoint, go to Edit - Paste Special, and select Paste Link on the left hand side. Then click OK.

Kind regards
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

Running PowerPoint Show Without Opening PowerPoint

If you double click on a PowerPoint show, PowerPoint opens and shows the first slide in development mode. To prevent this do the following:

Find your PowerPoint file.

Right click on the file's icon with your mouse.

Select 'Show' from the menu that is displayed. PowerPoint opens and runs your slide Show. When the show finishes, PowerPoint closes.

Your audience never sees the PowerPoint working window at all.

To make it easier place a shortcut to the file on your desktop for quick access.
