    Sparklines - Trendlines not showing with copy/paste

    I am trying to copy/paste a "dashboard" created in Excel, which has sparklines, into a Powerpoint. When I paste the area I have copied, some (but not all) of the horizontal trendlines in the sparklines disappear. I have even tried pasting as a picture. When I enlarge what is pasted, sometimes more of the lines appear...but then others disappear. I also tried the "Camera" function on excel but the same result occured. The only way I found so far to preserve the entire look is to use the snipping tool...but then the image looks blurred when pasted into Powerpoint.
    Has anyone run into this or does anyone have suggestions of alternate solutions?

    First paste/embed the entire dashboard into Powerpoint, then individually copy each sparkline and paste as a picture into the cell where it belongs. I've never had an issue with the sparklines disappearing with this method.

    Overall, this is still tedious and a bit of a headache, but it's the only solution I've found. The same thing happens when attempting to copy/paste sparklines from third party add-ons. Hopefully this won't be the case forever.
