For some strange reason it cannot be done. However, if you just paste
it, you can animate the chart series by series. My workaround is to
paste both a linked and an unlinked version. The linked version is
positioned off the visible area and only there as a reminder of the
actual source. The unlinked version is animated but never used for
updates.

Does anyone know how to animate by series an Excel chart that's paste-linked
into Powerpoint?
