Updating one Excel chart in my PowerPoint file updates all graphs
Hi,
using Office 2007 I have created 6 graphs (for 6 different KPI:s) in an Excel file. The graphs can be simultaneously updated by selecting a (Geography) parameter in the same file. I copy/paste the 6 graphs of Geography#1 into PowerPoint, then I change the geography parameter and copy/paste the next 6 graphs (of Geography#2) and so on. When done, I have a PowerPoint file with 54 slides. (6 KPI:s * 9 Geographies), bu when I "edit data" in one of the graphs - all the graphs are updated - to the same geography. How can I prevent this massive update from happening, without losing the possibility to update the individual sheets? Thanks in advance! Mats |

What you have are essentially the same graph copied 9 times over. It seems
to work because you are not asking PowerPoint to update the links. If those links do get updated -- as in your case because of a data change -- all the graphs will show whatever you have currently selected in Excel. The choices that I can think of a 1) Make static images of the charts (i.e., copy+paste an image of the chart not a linked Excel chart). 2) Insert a copy of the chart so that it is an Excel chart but no longer connected to the Excel workbook...not a good idea, methinks. 3) Write a macro that does the 9 geographic selections (*6 copy+paste operations per selection) from Excel to PP. Depending on how often the data change, I would go with either 1 or 3, keeping in mind that 3 might be relatively easy but could easily, if, for example, you have slides that you annotate, entail a fair amount of work. -- Tushar Mehta http://www.tushar-mehta.com Custom business solutions leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach In Excel 2007 double-click to format may not work; right click and select from the menu "Mats Teir" wrote: Hi, using Office 2007 I have created 6 graphs (for 6 different KPI:s) in an Excel file.
