I copy a row of data from Excel like the one below:

and paste it into Powerpoint but the result looks like this:

Why is that and how I can have it in a single row in Powerpoint, like I do in Excel?

Would pasting as a picture solve the problem?

Thanks

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Hello tiredofit,

When pasting into PowerPoint, try going to Edit -> Past Special and select Unformatted Text (check the pic below). That may give you what you want.

Hope this helps.

Try to first create text box and then Past Special into the text box in PowerPoint. Hope this helps.

In your spreadsheet - is all the data in A1 or is it in each individual cell as in B1, C1 etc.? It looks like all your data may be in A1, or is that not the case?

I'm confused as to why that is not working. I paste into an existing Power Point text box (yellow) as shown below and the red text is pasted into the text box. Maybe somebody else can figure out why this is not working.
