Linked Charts from Sheets
What This Does
Linked charts paste from Google Sheets with a live connection—edit the source data and the slide chart refreshes.
Why It's Useful
Screenshot charts are stale the moment you paste. Linked charts keep board decks current.
How to Do It
- In Sheets, copy a chart → Paste in Slides
- Choose Link to spreadsheet
- Click chart → Update to pull latest data
- Optionally unlink if you need a frozen snapshot
