Unless your Excel chart is stored on a cloud hosting service like OneDrive, or on a web site, you won't be able to link to it. That said, here are a few ways for you to include an Excel chart in your slides:

  • If the chart data is continuously updated and it is hosted on a web site or on OneDrive (or a similar cloud hosting service),    add a hyperlink from a slide in your presentation to the Excel chart.

  • If the data doesn't change, or the changes matter little to you,    take a screenshot of the chart in Excel and insert it as a picture on your slide. Here's how to do that:

    1. In Excel for the web or Excel desktop, press Print Screen, and save it as a picture using a picture editor application, such as Paint for Windows or iPhoto for Mac.

    2. In PowerPoint for the web, on the Insert tab, select Pictures.

      Insert a picture

    3. Find the picture of the Excel chart, and then click Open.

      Once you add the picture, you can also do the following:

      Crop a picture in Office

      Add a border or another style to a picture
