    Exclamation Linking PowerPoint Slides to an Embeded Excel File

    I am searching for an answer regarding linking PowerPoint slides to One Embedded Excel file in the same presentation.

    I want to be able to make changes to the embedded excel file on Slide 1 and have those changes reflect in the same data table on Slide 2.

    Example:
    Let's say I have a workbook named "Financials."

    I want to embed Financials into Slide 1 so that I can click into the workbook from within PowerPoint and edit the data on Sheet 1.
    The data on Sheet 1 is in range A1:B6.
    I would like the image of cells A1:B6 to appear on Slide 2 and automatically update as I change the data from within the embedded workbook on Slide 1.

    The need for this is because I have previously used linked selections from a "master" excel workbook and pasted as link into PowerPoint so that all slides update automatically when I change anything in the "master" workbook. However, when I send this presentation externally and people need to edit the data, they cannot because all the slides have linked selections to a file that they user does not have. So if I can link those selections to an embedded workbook that stays within the PowerPoint, the user will not have that problem.

    Any help is seriously appreciated!
    Thanks
