Do the charts in Excel, copy them, and use paste special-link to put
them into PowerPoint. Update the chart data, and the charts
automatically update. Open the PowerPoint file, and the linked charts
also update.

I have a powerpoint presentation which has all the required excel data
charts in it already. Currently to update the charts I need to pick the
appropriate data out of seperate excel worksheets and manually input the
data to the appropriate charts that generate the charts. How do I link the
worksheets with the supporting data directly to the appropriate cells in the
excel tables that are used to generate the charts. I would like it so that
when new data is entered on the excel worksheets, the appropriate cell data
is transferred to the excel tables in the powerpoint lecture that generate
the chart stats. Confused??? well so am I, so any advice or insight would be
greatly appreciated on how I go about automating this process so that when I
go to give the powerpoint lecture, I automatically have the latest data
being presented on the charts.
