Thanks for any help! Sara, I am trying to picture what you are getting when you update so have a few more questions. When you paste the chart on the PowerPoint slide, do you choose there to link the chart? In the paste icon in the lower right of the pasted chart, this would be either the third or fourth icon across the choices depending on whether you want the PowerPoint theme or the Excel theme.
If that is your choice then you are indeed linking the Excel file with the PowerPoint file. You will break that link if you move either the PowerPoint file or the Excel file. When you say that you have made a lot of changes to the Excel files, are you just changing data or are you majorly changing the look or arrangement of the chart?
If I have a chart of movie ticket sales and my chart originally includes the top five grossing movies, I can the amounts for any of those movies and the linked chart in PowerPoint will update. But if I add a sixth movie to the list in a new row of data, I must change the data selection to include the new movie. Are you making those kinds of changes to your charts? Do you think the problem could be a size problem? Could your charts work better if they all sit on chart sheets instead of sitting on a worksheet with the original data?
I am using PowerPoint for Mac and would like to edit a slide deck with numerous charts linked to a source Excel file. All need updating. Also, all files are located on a shared Workgroup network drive at the office. I am accessing the network drive via smb within OSX i. The presentation was created on a Windows machine originally.

The excel file is updated and the charts are refreshed in the presentation each month. Check that the path and file name are correct, or try reinstalling the server application. Although the path is correct, the result is a REF error. Since I have access to the network drive and to the files, it seems crazy that I should have to install Windows and the PC version of Office on a computer that already has a working copy of Office Has anyone gotten this setup to work?

Any ideas? Thanks again! Margaret, I do not have a lot of experience with the Mac OS so I have consulted with some of my IT Training colleagues for their ideas and suggestions. Here are some points they brought up for your consideration.
Is the Office SP1 installed? What exactly are the filenames? Are there any reserved characters being used that one OS permits and the other forbids? There was a known bug in Office when trying to Edit an Excel file from a pasted chart in PowerPoint This may be a variant of that bug, with a different error message. I hope there might be a starting point here from which you can begin your investigation. I have an issue where I received a Power Point with a chart in it, and I want to edit the data.
When I go to Edit Data, nothing happens. I am using office , and I have tried working with the problem on both a W7 and XP machines.

Any help would be appreciated. Ryan, You say that you received a PowerPoint with a chart in it. Do you know whether the chart was embedded in the PowerPoint file or linked? If it was linked, you would also need the Excel source file from the person who created it to be able to update the chart.
Do you get any message at all when you click the Edit Data icon? Based on the behavior, it seems like it must have been linked, but I really do not know at this point.
Thank you for your feedback!
Ryan, If you are using PowerPoint , one way to check if there are links is to go to the File tab, click the Info choice in that menu, and then look at the panel on the far right. Of course the chart could have been pasted as a picture which would not allow editing the actual chart data. But you said that you do have the Edit Data icon. So that would suggest that it is not a picture. If the chart is linked, both the Edit Data icon and the Refresh Data icon will be available. If the chart is embedded, only the Edit Data icon is available. I have a PowerPoint file where I have a couple of charts, linked to an Excel that has been lost.
I would like to see or copy the data to a new excel file, to be able to use the numerical data. Is there any means to make it happen? Marcos, I have played with this a bit and have done some reading on it. But I fear that you may just have to manually re-create the file in Excel. I have copied and pasted 30 or so charts from excel to powerpoint. I need to change the name of the excel file and the powerpoint file. How do I go about doing this and maintaining the links from excel to powerpoint?
I am running office You might have to scroll to find the Edit Links to Files choice. There you should see the list of links you have created. Select the link in question and then click Change Source. From there you can establish the new connection. Hope this helps. I have 2 users running Powerpoint with all other users running Ryan, I have consulted with some of the PowerPoint experts in my group and given the details you have shared here.
Just a theory but difficult to tell from the information here. I am using Office and I am struggling with the import of Excel charts into Powerpoint. Basically I would like to copy an existing. How can I do this? Oliver, I guess the best approach for you might be to create a slide with the Title and Content layout and click the chart icon in the center of the content placeholder to create a new chart. The Chart Type dialog box opens prompting you to choose a chart type and subtype.
You could copy and past your data into the spreadsheet instead. The data necessary to the chart is then residing in the PowerPoint, but the slide is not linked to the original Excel file and no other data from the original Excel file is in the PowerPoint. Do you have any thoughts on what could be causing the problem? Brian, This is a bit of a puzzle. Could you have a version mismatch between the template and the file you are creating? Although it seems that would impact all of your charts, not just a small number.
And if you had a linking problem, you would get a message directing you to update your link. Hopefully someone else will chime in here with their thoughts. A quick question you will know off the top of you head. I have tables in a powerpoint that have come for 4 excel files. I have forgotten the name of one of the excel files. I double click on the table and IO can see all the tabs but I can not find the name of the original excel file. Is there a way to do this Office ? Veronica is unavailable this week, so she asked me if I could answer your question. Hi stephanie, You will not see the Chart Tools set of tabs if a your chart is not selected or b you pasted your chart as a picture.
If you pasted the chart as a picture, when it is selected you will see the Picture Tools Format tab on the ribbon. You will not be able to update the picture without just replacing it. Thanks for the tips. I have a powerpoint presentation with charts that are linked to an excel file.
