I am sure this is fairly simple, but I need to set up a powerpoint show with a series of charts that refer back to an excel workbook. So the end result would be that when I change the data on the excel sheet and then go into the powerpoint show - the data changes there as well
How do i do this?
Thanks

yep you can do that.
In Powerpoint - Insert an Object - then choose from file. Then when you choose your file make sure you click on the Link so that it is linked.
