Powerpoint - Creating tables

Hello Sara

Thank you for your question regarding inserting tables.

You are absolutely right, there is a way insert a ready-made table with all the necessary detail?

Rather than inserting it in the way you described try this instead:

Insert tab > Text group > Object button.

Click on ‘create from file’ then ‘browse’ for the correct file and click OK.

Doubling clicking the inserted table will change the PointPoint ribbon to the Excel ribbon and will you see any sums in the formula bar, just like you would if you were working directly in Excel.

Should you need to resize the data in the table, do so as normal, from the home tab and fonts group.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards
