Inserting data from an Excel Spreadsheet into a PowerPoint prese

For example, if I had an Excel spredsheet full of data that I had been working on (i.e. a table of values), and I wanted to include this information onto a PowerPoint presentation, is there an easy way to insert this?

Hello Rachel

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

It depends on how big the table is that you are working on in Excel, if it is much larger than the size you have available on a slide, then it might be better to link to the Excel file from the PowerPoint presentation instead.

Otherwise using Copy and Paste usually works fine.

Kind regards
Amanda
