title: How to copy a chart from Excel to PowerPoint?
body: <p>Is there any way I could copy a chart from an excel spreadsheet to a powerpoint, <strong>preserving the original formatting and embedding the data</strong>? There was already a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7492519/paste-excel-chart-into-powerpoint-using-vba">question</a>
  about copy pasting charts programmatically. However, there was nothing said about data embedding</p>
  
  <p>The biggest problem is embedding the data. As far as I know data embedding requires recreating the chart from the beginning in the power point. (PS: By embedding i do not mean linking to an external excel file.)</p>
