Updating graphs

is it possible to update the same graph that sits in several presentations from one excel spreadsheet?

RE: updating graphs

Hi Fiona,
Thank you for your question;
In answer; Yes, if each presentation is 'linked' to the graph, when the graph is updated so the data which is linked will be updated with the latest version as each presentation is opened. To do this it is necessary to create the link using the Insert>Object>Create from File and ensure you click the Link option. I hope that helps ... Pete
