can I link an excel spreadsheet and do an auto update in Power
Steve,
I too am having the same issues. I have tried to follow this conversation but it seems so muddled and confused. Can you simply reiterate what you have told vm so I can follw what you have said. My biggest issue is that I will have multiple charts to have in PP that will link back to the master spreadsheet in excel. I want to have a seperate slide for each line of data. There will be approximatly 45-60 slides. I want one master spreadsheet to input my info into and have it automatically update in each PP chart. Does that make sence? Is that possible? Thank you so much! -- Grandma always said the only dumb question was the one you didn''t ask!

I have several graphs that I need to show in Powerpoint but I create in Excel. I would like to have the graph automatically update in Powerpoint when I update the data in Excel. Is there a way to do that? If the link didn't help, you'll need to be more specific about what you want. The steps in the FAQ page will give you links that will update each time you open the presentation. Do you need something other/more than that? ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, I didn't see where I could get the actual graph from Excel into the Powerpoint presentation. I could get a data table that I could link and it would update but what I need is the graph that is fed from Excel data to automatically update. Thanks for your persistence in helping me with this......WM No problem. In Excel, you select whatever content you want to link to PPT. If that's a chart on a chart sheet, click in the upper left corner and make sure that you've got the Chart Area selected. For a chart on a regular work sheet, again, click the upper left and make sure it's the whole chart area that's selected. In both cases, the tooltip (little yellow text box that appears over the mouse cursor) will show you what's selected. And in both cases, it doesn't really need to be the upper left that you click, but click on the chart but away from everything else that's selectable. U/L makes it nice and simple. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Steve, I already cut and paste my graphs from Excel to Powerpoint. What I can't seem to find a way to do is to have the chart in Powerpoint automatically linked so that it updates each time I change the data in Excel. When I cut and paste I don't have the option of Paste Special and using the linking function. Is there a way to have the Excel Spreadsheet in Powerpoint and have it automatically linked so that the updates can happen? Yes, by doing it exactly as described in the various links already given. As mentioned, you can't cut and paste. You want to Copy from Excel and then choose Edit, Paste Special in PPT. You must have first saved the Excel file for this to work and you must initiate it from Excel; you can't do it from within PPT. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |

can I link an excel spreadsheet and do an auto update in Powerpoin
People, I have had the exact same problem. No offense to the Micosoft Office
Experts, but it seems you guys are not catching what the users are asking. I'm unsure if it is that the users do not know how to explain themselves properly or maybe because you guys do not understand the situation or frustration of the users. I know what it feels like because I have experienced it first-hand this week (13 July 2009 to 16 July 2009). Between myself and my collegue, we have done extensive research on this issue and have found a workable and quite friendly solution to the problem. The problem is this; When you have a "Display" machine like a "Kiosk" in the staff canteen. You would like to have a PowerPoint presentation running there 24/7. The problem is to update this presentation without touching the "Dispaly" PC. PowerPoint does not allow a smooth update to the presentation without user intervention. The Presentation should work FOR YOU, and YOU FOR the presentation. Guys, if you would like to know the solution, please, e-mail me on , I will gladly help you to solve this problem!
