Pasting linked range or chart from Excel to PowerPoint

[Dr. Demento]

I'm having trouble finding an example of the method of pasting a range or chart from Excel into PowerPoint as a linked object. A link would be great.

Thanks y'all.

The code below (found in the link) worked first time for me
https://www.thesmallman.com/blog/2016/9/16/copy-and-paste-an-excel-chart-into-powerpoint-with-vba

Test (unmodified) like this
- add a chart to the FIRST sheet in your workbook
- place the code below in a module
- In VBA add reference to Microsoft PowerPoint object library (see link for instructions)
- run the code

A new presentation is created with a linked chart in the first slide
After testing it unmodified, then modify code to suit your needs

Option Explicit
Sub CopyChartPP()
   Dim oPPT As Object
   Dim oPres As Object
   Dim oSld As Object
   Dim oWS As Worksheet
   Dim oCHT As ChartObject

   Set oPPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
   Set oPres = oPPT.Presentations.Add(msoTrue)
   Set oSld = oPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutTitleOnly)
   Set oWS = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
   Set oCHT = oWS.ChartObjects(1)
   oCHT.Select

   ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
   oSld.Shapes.PasteSpecial link:=msoTrue
End Sub
