embed excel cell data in powerpoint
what I want to do
I have an excel sheet that contains all the data, and I want to create a template in PowerPoint with place holders where if I update the Excel sheet it will be automatically reflected in the PowerPoint and then share that PowerPoint without the Excel file.
what I have tried so far
I have tried copying the cells and paste special in PowerPoint.
Problem
The problem of this method is that it will paste it as an image, and I still need the user to be able to edit the text INSIDE the PowerPoint itself.
From the article Insert Excel data in PowerPoint:
Link a section of data in Excel to PowerPoint
In Excel, open the saved workbook with the data you want to insert and link to.
Drag over the area of data you want to link to in PowerPoint, and on the Home tab, click or tap Copy.
In PowerPoint, click the slide where you want to paste the copied worksheet data.
On the Home tab, click the arrow below Paste, and select Paste Special.
In the Paste Special box, click Paste link, and then, under As, select Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object.
