    PowerPoint live update excel data during slide show

    PowerPoint live update excel data during slide show


    So I have an excel sheet that updates every 30 minutes and been trying to link the sheet to PowerPoint to update during live slide show. I've copy and special pasted as link and set to auto update but only works in edit mode or when the ppt is restarted but never live.

    I've searched numerous threads and nothings worked. Downloaded and installed the add in to update links live :http://skp.mvps.org/updtlinks.html which doesn't work.

    Thought this would work best: How to update excel embedded charts in powerpoint?

    And still no data updates during live slide show. I dont know why either.

    Using office2010. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Tyger0951,

    I'm using 2016 so not sure if this will work for you. After opening both PowerPoint and Excel I copied an area of dynamic data. Then Paste Special in PowerPoint (I used it from the Home Ribbon Tab Paste drop down). I updated the data in Excel and it worked for me. I'm not sure how this this process will work in Microsoft Office 2010.

    Hope it helps.

    Tyger0951,

    Sorry I forgot to add a screen shot for you. Under Paste Special click the Paste Link radio button and then select Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object.

    Tyger0951,

    Sorry I didn't clarify what to do with the Paste Special...

    Under Paste Special click the Paste Link radio button and then select Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object.

    Re: PowerPoint live update excel data during slide show

    The special paste will allow the update to happen as long as the excel file is left up in the background of the same computer the PowerPoint is running on. There is a way to launch the PowerPoint from the excel file and force the links to re-establish if the file ends up getting closed but I do believe that the show has to be re-launched in order to force this to work.

    Here is what I use on a few of my different PowerPoints updated by Excel
