Inserting data from an Excel Spreadsheet into a PowerPoint prese

For example, if I had an Excel spredsheet full of data that I had been working on (i.e. a table of values), and I wanted to include this information onto a PowerPoint presentation, is there an easy way to insert this?

RE: Inserting data from an Excel Spreadsheet into a PowerPoint p

Hello Rachel

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

It depends on how big the table is that you are working on in Excel, if it is much larger than the size you have available on a slide, then it might be better to link to the Excel file from the PowerPoint presentation instead.

Otherwise using Copy and Paste usually works fine.

Kind regards
Amanda

Powerpoint tip:

To copy an object on your page

To copy an object on your page quickly and easily instead of using cut & paste, try this instead.

Select the object you want to copy by clicking on it.

Hold down the "CTRL" key on the keyboard.

Click (with the left mouse button) and drag the object to the new position. Simple & quick.

Now try it again but press the "Shift" key at the same time as the CTRL key, this will keep the objects aligned. Great for making diagrams etc.
