Copying Excel Charts and Data into PowerPoint

It’s possible to present Excel data to your colleagues using Excel exclusively, but if you’re developing a formal presentation, you might want to use PowerPoint. Because presentations often contain graphic representations of numerical data, it’s easy to include your Excel data in a PowerPoint presentation.

When you copy an Excel chart into a PowerPoint presentation, you can select how you want PowerPoint to manage the chart and its data. If you don’t make any changes, PowerPoint creates the chart and maintains a link to the workbook from which it came. You can also choose to paste the entire workbook into PowerPoint or paste a picture of the chart’s current state.
