Excel/Power point

Dear Carole

Thank you for attending Excel intermediate course. I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

Importing Excel chart is quite straight forward.

If you already have a chart created in Excel and want to display in PowerPoint then simply select the chart in Excel and choose Edit> Copy. Then in PowerPoint insert a new slide with Title Only layout and then simply choose Edit > Paste.

If you want to create a link so that if the chart in excel changes and you want it to be changed in PowerPoint then instead of choosing Edit > Paste choose Edit > Paste special... In the dialog box choose Paste link and then press Ok.

You may have to adjust the size of the chart once it has been imported onto PowerPoint.

In order to test this if you change the value from the source data in Excel. If you come back to PowerPoint and right click on the chart and choose update link you will notice that the chart in PowerPoint will be updated.
