software

I have a ppt presentation that uses six different charts that I created in an
excel workbook. I want the charts in the ppt to update every time I enter
data into the excel worksheet but when I use the link function
quot;insert-gt;objectquot; it ends up putting the same chart on all the ppt slides
rather than the one slide it needs to be on. Any help is appreciated.

Insert Object From File inserts the active sheet at the time the file was
last saved, or the active sheet at the time the object was inserted, if it
is active in Excel at that time.

I would recommend that you copy the chart in Excel, then use Paste Special -
Link in PowerPoint.
