 I have a PowerPoint that uses linked Excel PivotTables.   The problem I'm having is that the PivotTables have a variable number of rows.  If I insert/Link a table with 10 rows, the PowerPoint will only display the first 10 rows when the linked Excel data changes and now has 20 rows.   If I insert/link the 20 row table then PowerPoint displays the blank rows when the data changes to a table with less than 20 rows. 
  I have not been able to suppress the cell borders on the empty rows or using the maximum table size would work (see attached image).

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
