I have added an Excel sheet into a PowerPoint 2010 document using the Insert tab --> Object --> Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Worksheet (Create New) option. I want to reference some of the cells in the Excel sheet in another slide of my PowerPoint. Is there a way to do this?
The purpose is I have a client who insists on a PPT report, except I need to use Excel to create the information required. Rather than constantly having two documents open and transferring the info from the Excel sheet to the PPT slide, I wanted to consolidate into one document, thus the Excel sheet added into the PPT file.
I'm not an expert at VBA by any means, but I know enough to muddle my way through if I need to use VBA to accomplish this.
I've uploaded pictures of an example (I hope). On slide 1, I have three cells filled in using the inserted Excel sheet. Slide 2 is where I need to reference those cells (text boxes with text in red). The information in those cells will change week from week and I need the text boxes in slide 2 to update with it. Any help would be appreciated.
