Copy and Paste is Copying cells in between the cells selected

Hello everyone, I have an excel file with multiple rows and columns of data. When I press CTRL and select the cells I want to copy, and try pasting them into PowerPoint, it is copying all the cells in between the one that I have selected. E.g. if I copied cells A1 & D1, when I paste into the PPT table, it pastes cells A1 - D1, so if the table only has two columns, you would just see the data from A1 & B1. Any idea how to fix this?

When I paste the data into another Excel file, it does correctly copy the selected cells only.

Thank you

Hello there,
You should paste your data into a blank Excel sheet, then paste the PowerPoint, and also check the PowerPoint paste option.
I hope this is helpful for you.
