Embedding a New Excel Chart



In PowerPoint you can include different object types in your presentation. For instance, you can insert a new Excel chart and add your data to the embedded object.



To embed a new Excel chart:

  1. Click where you want the chart to appear.
  2. Select Object... on the Insert menu.
  3. Click Create new.
  4. Select Microsoft Excel Chart from the list.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Sheet 1 to replace the sample data.


To change the chart's data after you have inserted it, double-click the object and select Sheet 1 on the workbook.

Information in an embedded object does not change if you modify the source file. An embedded object appears as it does in its source document, but is not connected to its source.
