Importing a Chart from Excel

• Create a new slide in your presentation, and on the Insert menu, click Chart. A sample chart and datasheet appear.
  
• If the datasheet is not visible, on the toolbar, click View Datasheet. Select the cell in which you want the data to begin.
  
• On the Edit menu, click Import File.
  
• In the Look in box, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the Excel worksheet that you want to import.
  
• Double-click the file that you want to import.
  
• In the Import Data Options dialog box, select the worksheet that you want to import.
• To import all of the data on the worksheet, in the Import box, click Entire sheet.
  
• To import part of the data, click Range, and then type the range of data that you want in the Range box. You can enter which cells you want to import, or you can type the name of the range.
  
• If you selected a cell in Step 3, clear the Overwrite existing cells check box.
  
• Click OK. The data from the imported file replaces the sample data, and the chart changes to reflect the new data table.
  

Note You can also open Excel, copy the chart that you want, and then paste it into your presentation.
