How to auto update the PowerPoint table when new data entered into Excel table?

Hi Excel Forum,

I have created a table in Excel 2010 (pls see attached table named post.xlsx).

Then copied the above table into PowerPoint 2010, using “paste link” (I tried to attach the PowerPoint file but the system says "invalid file type" and I cannot attach it).


Question:
I have received income data for another month – the new month is 13 and the corresponding new income is 100.
I typed 13 and 100 into the Excel table post.xlsx and thus extended the table by another column.

Then I went back to PowerPoint slide, then right clicked on the table there, then clicked “update link”

Specific Question:
The newly-typed column in Excel table is not get updated in PowerPoint table.

Could you please let me know how to do it?
Thanks
