Default use excel to create PP slides?

I'm not sure if this is possible but I have a list of information in an excel
table and I'd like to auto matically generate a slide for each row of data.

for instance, I have a list of products and each product is on it's own row
with 6 product features in the following columns. How can I take that info
from excel and create a features slide for each product using the information
from the following columns.

I don't mind cutting and pasting the list - it doesn't have to be fully
automatic but as I have over 1000 products I desperately don't want to reype
all that info and create each slide manually.

TIA
