How do you copy Excel to PowerPoint?

Answer 1

On the PowerPoint slide where you want to show your Excel worksheet, you would insert and object (on the Insert tab in Excel 2007, select Object). In the Insert Object box, select what you would like to insert, in this case, select Microsoft Office Excel.

A way to automate the copy/paste from Excel to PowerPoint would be with some third party add-in. An option is EzPaste-xl2 anywhere that completely automates the operation with full control of its many aspects.

Answer 2

You can select the spreadsheet and copy it and then paste it into a slide in Powerpoint. You can also do a Paste Link, through Paste Special on th Edit menu, so it keeps up to date with any changes made in the Excel spreadsheet. You can also create a very basic spreadsheet within Powerpoint, but this is only really suitable for small amounts of data, and you are better off to do it in Excel and copy and paste it over if you are doing something more complex.
