Hello Experts
Does anyone know the best way to automate Power point presentation which has most data being input from Excel sheet manually . If there is no way in Power point than are there any other presentation apps that are Excel friendlier.
TIA

Usually in the Power point, you can insert an excel object and that excel sheet will be shown on the PP. Now you can update the excel and the changes will be reflected on PP.

Are you looking the above functionality or something else?

Other than the embedded xls solution, here are options of linking the source xls to PowerPoint presentation.

I suggest you create the data as well as Chart in xls and place ppt and xls in same folder.

After creating the chart, Copy the chart from xls , to bring it to clipboard
in Powerpoint 2010 there are two PASTE options you may use for your requirements

a. Keep source formatting and link data
b. use destination theme and link data.

Possible in 2010 office version, not sure about earlier versions. You can use this technique to link content from any two office documents.

Hope this helps.
