To help you choose the most suitable method for integrating charts from Excel to PowerPoint, here is a comparison table that summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the three methods discussed.
| Method | Excess | Deficiency |
| Copy and Paste | Easy and quick to use. | There are no automatic updates; need to re-copy if the data changes. |
| Suitable for one-off presentations without further data changes. | The graphic format may not always be preserved when moved. | |
| Using the “Link” option | Automatic updates when data in Excel changes. | It requires a connection to an Excel file; if the file is moved, the link can be corrupted. |
| Maintain data consistency between Excel and PowerPoint. | It may take more knowledge to set up properly. | |
| Using “Insert Object” | Charts can be edited directly in PowerPoint without opening Excel. | Requires more steps to insert than other methods. |
| Create interactive graphics that can be changed during presentations. | The size of the presentation file can be larger because it stores Excel objects. |
