Open the Slides document to the slide you want to paste the data into, and go to Edit &gt; Paste. If this is a fresh slideshow that you haven&#39;t made any changes to yet, it&#39;ll most likely have a few templated items that you might not want on the same slide as your spreadsheet data. Spend a few minutes before completing this step, clearing out the slide so it&#39;s not cluttered.

Choose Link to spreadsheet and then PASTE on the prompt. The exact columns and rows you copied from Google Sheets now appear in Google Slides.<br/> Use the edges of the table to move it wherever you need it to be. You can even cut/paste the table to another slide if necessary, and it&#39;ll still be linked to the same spreadsheet.<br/> <h3> Link to a Chart </h3> You can link to a chart the same way you can cells of data, by copying and pasting.

Select Import. <h2> Editing a Linked Spreadsheet in Google Slides </h2> If you make changes to the data, the table&#39;s menu in Slides changes to an UPDATE button that you need to click to make changes show up in the slide (refresh Slides if you don&#39;t see that button). The spreadsheet data in Google Slides might look editable (and some of it technically is), but instead of changing the data right there in the slideshow, revisit the spreadsheet and make your edits there.

It&#39;s easy to do this: just click the table or chart once to reveal a small menu at the top. Select that, and then choose Open source to open Google Sheets. You can make changes to the table in Slides without visiting Sheets, but those changes don&#39;t apply back to the spreadsheet.

If you make a change in Slides and then make a difference change in the spreadsheet, that edit will override everything you edited from the slideshow. If it&#39;s a table you&#39;re dealing with, also in that menu is the self-explanatory option to Change range.

Since spreadsheets created in Google Sheets live online, updating what you see in the slideshow is as easy as updating the spreadsheet. When you link this kind of document, any changes you make are reflected everywhere else it&#39;s accessed from, including your Slides files.

For example, you can share the slideshow with someone without sharing the spreadsheet; only the portion of the file that you copied (e.g., the chart) is visible by whoever views the presentation. Anyone viewing the slideshow will also have access to the Sheets link, but if you haven&#39;t shared the spreadsheet itself with those people, then they won&#39;t have any access (i.e., the link won&#39;t show them the full spreadsheet). If you don&#39;t need the data to be current with what&#39;s in the spreadsheet, you can avoid even the link from being visible by selecting Paste unlinked when asked.
