I've recently discovered this so you will need to test it.
Create a graph in your excel file.
Cut the graph and paste it into the powerpoint presentation.
At this stage you can now delete the graph but the excel tabs in the background will remain active and allow formulas that can reference to your excel file.
I have experienced two difficulties with this:
- Its best to write your cell references in excel before doing cut / paste as its difficult to write them in powerpoint
- If you ever change the data in excel, you need to open the presentation and refresh the excel extract manually by double clicking on it.
thanks bro!!!!
Is there a way of doin it through vb codes/macros????
Heres some sample vba code if your feeling brave!
Not my code no idea were it came from (been years since ive used)
