How do I insert an existing Excel file into PowerPoint?

[EmComp]

I am preparing a PowerPoint presentation and am trying to insert an existing
Excel file as a slide. The Excel file includes two graphs. I tried copy and
paste, but the data is a mess when pasted over to Power Point.

Try this. Copy the Excel file then go to the PPT file and use EDIT > PASTE
SPECIAL Select the Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object

Rich - Thank you! I've been struggling with this for hours. Your suggestion
worked perfectly. Thanks again.

Porting data from Excel to PowerPoint is a common task. After all
PowerPoint can’t even total a column of numbers. If you do this ofte
working with many different xls and ppt files, you should check out
try-before-you-buy tool at www.xpport.com. It can port a multi-pag
spreadsheet to multiple slides in one step or even your entir
workbook.

This was so helpful. I too was struggling for hours trying all the different
help tools but none of them explained it how you did.
It worked!
Thanks

I am trying to insert part of an excel worksheet in PPT. When I past special
the entire worksheet is copied over. I want to only paste what is needed from
the sheet.
Any suggestions? Also, once the specific data is pasted and I double-click
to edit, the entire worksheet appears again. Got any ideas??

I have pasted as you suggested below. But when on running the slide show when
clicked the excel it is not opening . Pls advise how to proceed further.

Always a good idea to tell us which version of PowerPoint your using. Have a
look here and see if this helps.

Are you asking how to open and edit the Excel file during a presentation?
That's a completely different set of steps.

If that's what you're after, holler back and I (or someone) will post
instrux.
