Overview of data charting and graphing

You can add a data chart or graph to your presentation in one of two ways:

  • You can create a chart or graph in your presentation.    When you create a new chart in PowerPoint 2007, you edit the data for that chart in Office Excel 2007, but the data is saved with the PowerPoint file.

  • You can paste an Excel chart or graph into your presentation and link to the data in an Office Excel 2007 file.    When you copy a chart from a saved Office Excel 2007 file and paste it into your presentation, the data in the chart is linked to that Excel file. If you want to change the data in the chart, you must make your changes to the linked worksheet in Office Excel 2007 and then refresh the data in your PowerPoint presentation. The Excel worksheet is a separate file and is not saved with the PowerPoint file.

Note: If you open a presentation that was created in an earlier version of PowerPoint and the presentation contains a graph or chart that was created by using Microsoft Graph, PowerPoint 2007 maintains the look and feel of the graph or chart and lets you continue to update your graph or chart.

    Select a pasting option. The option you choose will vary depending on how you want the graph to appear and behave. These options are best for pasting charts and graphs:

    • Microsoft Excel Chart Object: This pastes the entire chart and corresponding data into your slide. This option ensures that if the data in the Excel file changes, it will also change on the PowerPoint slide.
    • Picture (Enhanced Metalfile): This pastes the chart as a high-quality image. This is great if you want to be able to enlarge the chart and focus on details.
    • Picture (JPEG): Really, any of the Picture options will work if you’re not concerned about quality. This is best for a very simple chart that doesn’t need to be huge.

    Click OK. This inserts the graph into the slide.

    • If you inserted the graph as an Object, make sure you do not move the original Excel file to a different location. If you do, the graph you pasted into PowerPoint will no longer display the correct data.[2]

Использование диаграмм и графиков в презентации

Создать диаграмму можно в PowerPoint или Excel. Если данных много, создайте диаграмму в Excel, а затем скопируйте ее в презентацию. Этот способ также оптимален, если данные регулярно изменяются и нужно, чтобы диаграмма всегда была актуальной. В этом случае при копировании диаграммы сохраните ее связь с исходным файлом Excel.

Проверьте, как это работает!

Чтобы в PowerPoint создать простую диаграмму с нуля, на вкладке Вставка нажмите кнопку Диаграмма, а затем выберите нужную диаграмму.

На вкладке Вставка нажмите кнопку Диаграмма.

Выберите тип диаграммы и дважды щелкните нужную диаграмму.

Совет: Сведения о том, как выбрать диаграмму, наилучшим образом подходящую для представления тех или иных данных, см. в разделе Доступные типы диаграмм.

На появившемся листе замените заполнители собственными данными.

При вставке диаграммы рядом с ее правым верхним углом появляются небольшие кнопки. Используйте кнопку Элементы диаграммы для отображения, скрытия или форматирования таких элементов, как названия осей или подписи данных. Используйте кнопку Стили диаграмм для быстрого изменения цвета или стиля диаграммы.

Совет: С помощью кнопки Фильтры диаграммы можно отобразить или скрыть данные на диаграмме.

По завершении закройте лист.

Easily Insert Excel Linked Charts or Graphs onto PowerPoint Slides

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated May 16, 2022

Applies to: Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 and 365, (Windows)

It’s easy to insert a linked Excel chart or graph into PowerPoint by copying and pasting. There are two common methods you can use – copy and paste to insert a linked chart or copy and paste special to insert an embedded chart with a link. If you insert a linked or embedded Excel chart, you can update the chart in PowerPoint when the Excel source file changes.

If you created a linked chart in PowerPoint by copying and pasting a chart from Excel, the chart displays in PowerPoint and you can format it, refresh it and even animate the chart elements. A linked chart can be updated by refreshing the data. If you embed an Excel chart using Paste Special and then Paste link, you will need to format the chart in Excel as it is displayed as an embedded object in PowerPoint. You can double-click an embedded chart object to open the Excel file and then edit the file.

Linked and embedded charts with a link are stored in the source Excel file. The PowerPoint presentation (destination file) stores the location of the source file.

If you add a lot embedded Excel charts with a link in a PowerPoint deck, it will increase the size of the PowerPoint file so you may want to break the links when the presentation is finalized if you need to reduce the size of your PowerPoint file. It’s best to break links in a copy of the presentation.

  11. Select one of the options (hover over the icons to view a pop-up about each option). You can select Use Destination Theme and Embed Workbook, Keep Source Formatting & Embed Workbook, Keep Source Formatting & Link Data, Use Destination Theme & Link Data or Picture. You can also press Shift + F10 or the Context button on your keyboard to display the context menu and then select the desired option. The two Link options will create links to the original Excel file and can be managed and updated.
  12. If necessary, resize the chart by dragging the corner handles and move the chart by dragging it by its edge.

If you want the chart to keep the formatting from the Excel file, select Keep Source Formatting & Link Data. If you want the chart to use the formatting in the PowerPoint presentation, select Use Destination Theme & Link Data.

The following options appear when you click the Smart Tag:

If you use the same theme colors in both the Excel file and the PowerPoint deck, you should achieve more consistent chart formatting. If the chart does not format in PowerPoint using the destination theme method, the chart may have been formatted in Excel using standard colors (which override theme colors) and non-theme fonts.

Update or refresh a linked chart

If you use the copy and paste method to insert a linked chart, you will be able to refresh it using the chart tools in PowerPoint.

To update or refresh a linked chart:

  1. In Normal View, click the chart on the slide.
  2. Click the Chart Design or Chart Tools Design tab in the Ribbon.
  3. Click Refresh Data in the Data group.

Refresh data appears in the Ribbon in PowerPoint when you click a linked chart:

Insert an embedded Excel chart with a link into PowerPoint using Paste Special

To insert an embedded Excel chart or graph with a link onto a PowerPoint slide using Paste Special:

  1. Open the Excel workbook containing the chart you want to use.
  2. Save the workbook.
  3. Click in a blank area in the chart.
  4. Click the Home tab in the Ribbon and click Copy in the Clipboard group.
  5. Go to Normal View (click the Normal button on the bottom right) and display the slide where you want to insert the chart.
  6. Click the Home tab in the Ribbon and in the Slides group, select the Title Only layout from the Layout drop-down menu. You can also delete the body placeholder on the slide by clicking its edge and then pressing Delete.
  7. Click in a blank area on the slide.
  8. Click the Home tab in the Ribbon and click Paste in the Clipboard group. A drop-down menu appears.
  9. Select Paste Special. A dialog box appears.
  10. Click Paste link and then select Microsoft Excel Chart Object. If you click Paste, not Paste link, the embedded object will not be linked to the source Excel file.
  11. Click on OK.
  12. If necessary, resize the chart by dragging the corner handles and move the chart by dragging it by its edge.

Below is the Paste Special dialog box in PowerPoint:

Excel will insert an embedded chart that is linked to the original chart. You will not be able to format the embedded chart object in PowerPoint.

Refresh or update embedded Excel charts

To update an embedded chart with a link in PowerPoint if the Excel data has changed:

  1. Save the PowerPoint file.
  2. Click the File tab in the Ribbon and then click Info.
  3. On the bottom right, click Edit Links. A dialog box appears.
  4. Click the link path you want to update and then click Update.
  5. Click OK.

If both the Excel and PowerPoint files are open, embedded charts should automatically update.

Open presentations with embedded charts with links

If you have embedded charts with links in a PowerPoint presentation, each time you open the presentation, PowerPoint should prompt you to update the links or Enable Content.

Troubleshoot linked or embedded Excel charts

In order to insert a linked or embedded Excel chart with links and maintain the links, you should:

  • Save the Excel workbook first before linking with PowerPoint
  • Keep the Excel file in the same folder as the PowerPoint file if you can
  • Ensure the Excel file is not moved to another folder or the link will break (you can fix this issue)
  • Ensure the Excel file is not renamed or the link will break (you can fix this issue)

If the Excel file has been moved or renamed, you’ll still be able to view the chart in PowerPoint but you won’t be able to update or edit the chart unless you change the source using Edit Links.

You can double-click an embedded chart object to open the Excel source file and then edit the data in Excel. When you save the edited file and return to PowerPoint, the updated chart should appear automatically in your presentation.

Linked or embedded charts with links can present a security issue as users may be able to access the source Excel file and select other tabs in the workbook. If you email the presentation without the source Excel files, this is not an issue. You can also break links to embedded charts before sharing the PowerPoint presentation.

How to Embed Excel Files & Link Data into PowerPoint (Quick Video)

In this quick three minute screencast below, I’ll show you how to work back and forth between Excel and PowerPoint. You’ll learn to embed Excel files in PowerPoint, link your data between the two apps, and can keep your data up to date.

Read on to learn more about different methods for working with data between Excel and PowerPoint.

In this video, we used the now-discontinued Marketofy PowerPoint Template from GraphicRiver. When you need an embedded Excel in PPT, turn to the vast Envato Elements library for thousands of custom PowerPoint options. You’ll find template designs for all topics. 

How to Embed Excel Charts in PowerPoint

Imagine that we’ve built a great-looking Excel chart. It features plenty of data and a stylish design aesthetic. But Excel isn’t the best tool for sharing with an audience. It’s best to embed Excel in PowerPoint to present with.

Remember: Excel and PowerPoint are both part of the Microsoft Office suite of productivity apps. They work well together. You can finish styling the chart in PowerPoint.

But you might not be done making style changes. Fortunately, you’re in luck.

The tips in this section were written using Windows and Office 365. If you’ve got a different operating system or a different version of the apps, your steps may be slightly different.

Start Embedding Excel Into PowerPoint

Now, let’s get started with the simplest way to make a PowerPoint embedded Excel. The first step is to click on your chart inside of Excel and make sure it’s selected. Then, you can press copy, either by pressing Ctrl + C on your keyboard or pressing the Copy button on Excel’s ribbon.

Select your chart in Excel, which puts those circles around the edge of the chart. Then, press copy (Ctrl + C) or copy on the ribbon to put the chart on your clipboard.

Now, let’s switch over to the SIMPLECO template, which is open in PowerPoint. Find some space on one of your slides. Then, press either Ctrl + V on your keyboard, or press the Paste button on PowerPoint’s ribbon. Below, you can see that the data and amounts match when you paste.

Embed Excel PowerPointEmbed Excel PowerPointEmbed Excel PowerPoint

You can embed Excel in PowerPoint by pasting charts from one app to the other.

Notice that it brought over the same data from our Excel workbook, but it reformatted the style to match the PPT presentation. These are the default options to take charts from Excel to PowerPoint.

This is the most basic way to place an Excel chart inside your PowerPoint file. But as always, there’s more power hidden behind the scenes in PowerPoint.

Excel to PowerPoint Paste Options Explained

Maybe you want to paste your chart as a picture that the viewer can’t edit. Or maybe you want to link your Excel chart to PowerPoint so that they update data and stay synced.

When you’re taking charts from Excel to PowerPoint, you really have two choices to make:

  1. How do you want to handle the data — should it be linked to an Excel workbook, or embedded right inside the PowerPoint file?
  2. Should the style of the chart stay the same, or should it match the rest of your presentation?

These options are all available when you Right-click inside PowerPoint with a chart on your clipboard.

The five paste options available in PowerPoint when you’re pasting data from Excel.

There are actually five ways that you can take data from Excel to PowerPoint, and each of them handles your data a bit differently. For your reference, here are the descriptions of each of the paste options in PowerPoint:

  1. Use Destination Theme and Embed Workbook
  2. Keep Source Formatting and Embed Workbook 
  3. Use Destination Theme and Link Data
  4. Keep Source Formatting and Link Data
  5. Paste as picture

I think of the major categories as embedding, linking, and pasting as a picture. Let’s learn about each of those categories.

1. Embed Excel Workbook in PowerPoint

The first two icons (1 and 2) allow you to embed data inside the PowerPoint file. This means that PowerPoint stores the data behind the scenes inside the PowerPoint file. 

Once you paste the file in and embed the workbook, the data is separated from the Excel file and stored inside the PowerPoint file.

If Excel’s data updates, the PowerPoint chart won’t update automatically.

Embedding Excel into PowerPointEmbedding Excel into PowerPointEmbedding Excel into PowerPoint

To update the data for an embedded chart, right-click the chart and choose Edit Data.

To update the data inside of an embedded Excel file, you can right-click the chart and choose Edit Data from the menu. This opens an embedded Excel spreadsheet inside the PowerPoint file where you can edit the data in the chart.

Editing data for an embedded chart will open up an Excel window inside of PowerPoint. Change this data to update the chart.

Embedding data has many advantages. The charts in your presentation work whether or not you’ve got access to the original Excel file. Embedding does increase the size of your PowerPoint file.

The major downside to embedding data is that it doesn’t stay synced to the Excel file that you’re doing analysis and data review inside of. If you’re going back and forth between the two apps, linking might be a better choice.

2. Link Excel Data to PowerPoint

Linking data (icons 3 and 4) keeps your PowerPoint and Excel file in sync. If you change the data for the chart in Excel, you can update the pasted chart in PowerPoint to use the latest data.

When PowerPoint and Excel are both open at the same time, this happens automatically for linked data. Make a change in Excel, and the linked PowerPoint chart updates in real time. 

If you’re working in Excel and PowerPoint at different times, you’ll want to update your data. Make sure to hit Refresh Data on the Chart Design tab on PowerPoint’s ribbon.

Embed Excel file in PowerPointEmbed Excel file in PowerPointEmbed Excel file in PowerPoint

Linked data updates in real time if both apps remain open. Or you can choose Refresh Data with the chart selected to refresh the data used in the linked chart.

Linking is great to keep the data connected so that you don’t have to keep rebuilding your charts as you move from Excel to PowerPoint. 

But linking your data directly to Excel isn’t always the right choice. The downside to using the linked option is two-fold:

  1. If you send your PowerPoint file to someone and they don’t have access to the Excel file, refreshing data won’t work.
  2. If others are changing the linked Excel file behind the scenes without your knowledge, you run the risk of updating your presentation with incorrect data.

If you’re still a bit fuzzy about choosing between embedding and linking data from Excel to PowerPoint, check out the official Microsoft help page to see a comparison of the two.

3. Paste Excel Chart as Picture in PowerPoint

The final option to place a chart in PowerPoint is to simply paste the chart you built in Excel as a flattened, non-editable picture.

When you paste a chart as a picture, the styles will appear the same as the Excel version of the chart and no longer be editable within PowerPoint.

Paste embedded Excel in PowerPointPaste embedded Excel in PowerPointPaste embedded Excel in PowerPoint

Pasting an Excel chart as a picture in PowerPoint treats the chart as a flat image and removes any editing options for the data inside of it.

This feature is handy when you want to ensure that the data isn’t changed or altered by the recipient. But pasting as a picture causes you to lose any ability to edit or change the chart.

Excel to PowerPoint Paste Formatting Options

Whether you choose to embed or link your data, you can choose how to handle the style of your charts when you move from Excel to PowerPoint. Both «embed» and «link» options have two choices for how to handle styling.

Let’s look at the difference between «Use Destination Theme» and «Keep Source Formatting.» These options don’t change the way we work with data—both options embed your data in the PowerPoint file—but they do change the appearance of the charts.

  1. Keep Source Formatting. Uses the same chart style used in Excel.
  2. Use Destination Theme. Matches the style of your chart to the PowerPoint theme.

In the screenshot below, you can see examples of each option. Using Keep Source Formatting kept the chart exactly the same as it appeared in Excel. Use Destination Theme helps your charts blend in with the rest of the presentation.

Format PowerPoint embedded ExcelFormat PowerPoint embedded ExcelFormat PowerPoint embedded Excel

«Keep Source Formatting» will carry the styles and formatting directly from Excel, while «Use Destination Theme» matches the chart to the rest of your PowerPoint presentation.

Once a chart is placed in the PowerPoint file, you can edit and restyle the presentation. Think of this paste option as the starting point.

We’ve learned about embedding Excel into PowerPoint. As you can see, linking the two apps is a seamless process. It helps you keep data and charts up to date to share with your audience. But sharing data can still seem daunting. What are some good rules of thumb? What do you need to do to succeed?

Read on for five of my favorite tips for effectively sharing data in PowerPoint. Embrace these ideas to succeed in 2023:

1. Opt for Colorful Styling

Bland, flat styles never inspired anyone. The trick is to use bright, colorful styles. You’ll enjoy several benefits when you do this. First, you’ll have shareable charts that are creative and engaging. You won’t bore your audience.

The Pineapple — Fresh Fruit PowerPoint template from Envato Elements features bright and colorful styling.

Plus, the creative use of color helps add contrast. For example, if you’re sharing charts, you can make each data series a different color. This makes your PowerPoint embedded Excel much easier to read and understand.

2. Animate to Control the Pace and Flow

Data is best shared as part of a narrative flow. In other words, you don’t always want your audience to see it all at once. That’s especially true if you’re providing details along the way. Data without context is “information overload” and can quickly become confusing.

Using animations in PowerPoint is a great way to control the pace and flow of your data slides. You can present Excel-based data in a certain order, rather than all at once. 

Learn how with our full tutorial on PowerPoint’s Animation pane, the control center for slide animation:

3. Use Unconventional Charts and Infographics

Often, basic Excel charts and graphs work well for sharing your data. But sometimes, it pays to be creative. Unique infographics and charts help you share information in new and creative ways.

This PPT deck features creative, unconventional charts and infographics.

Even PowerPoint’s built-in chart features are robust enough to craft new designs. Next time you’re linking data to Excel, try out a funnel, waterfall, or sunburst chart. These are tailor-made for custom data sharing. You can use them all when you’re embedding Excel into PowerPoint.

4. Expand Beyond Numerical Data

When you think of data, it’s easy to think of numbers. And of course, that’s likely the most common type of data. But you can use charts and graphics to share data that isn’t numerical. Remember: these are tools to share ideas.

For example, you can use a chart to introduce your team and explain your organization’s structure. It’s a good way to illustrate an idea that may be hard to explain with words alone. And of course, you can embed this right from Excel using PPT tables and more.

5. Be Specific with Design

Premium PowerPoint themes from Envato Elements are available for any subject. Many are well-suited for any topic with a few quick edits. But others are specific and intentional with their themes.

A template like Orion is tailored for the shipping industry.

For example, you’ll find many PPT templates geared toward a specific industry. This extends to their layouts, themes, and your ability to embed data. Why not choose a custom, themed template for your next project? These templates look amazing, and they deliver design inspiration on every slide.
