Thank you so much. That really does clarify the issue. Any ideas why a linked or embedded file wouldn't update in the PowerPoint presentation when data is changed. It used to work fine in earlier versions...<br />
<br />
Thanks

I am currently using PowerPoint 365 with Excel 365 and in earlier versions of Excel/Powerpoint if I updated a pivot chart in Excel then that was reflected in my PowerPoint (I was using Paste : Use Destination Theme and Link Data - however I'm finding that even when I refresh the data in PowerPoint, the changes are not always reflected...why is that? <br />
<br />
Secondly, where can I find an explanation of the difference between Link Data and Embed workbook - and when would you use one over the other?

Linked Pivot table not updating in PowerPoint presentation when changes are made.

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.
