I need to copy my chart into PowerPoint. The data that I used to create the
chart has an autofilter on. Does the autofilter need to be removed first?
 
girlfrmedc,

You can copy the chart, as filtered, and paste directly onto a slide. Don't make a chart in
the slide -- just pick a place in the slide and paste it. It may embed the whole workbook,
making your presentation file larger, and exposing the entire contents of the workbook to
anyone who has the presentation and has Excel. To prevent that, use Edit - Paste special,
and don't use "Microsoft Excel Object." Instead use a picture format, like metafile. It
will not be linked to the original Excel sheet either -- it will be a frozen picture, as it
looked when you copied it.

Some folks prefer bottom-posting.
But if you bottom-post to a reply that's
already top-posted, the thread gets messy.

Hi,

Assuming that both the application are opened

Do one of the following:

Click the Chart Area of the chart and copy it to the clipboard and then
Press Alt+TAB, to select Powerpoint and paste.

-or-

Assuming that both the application are opened

Arrange these applications side-by-side. Click the Chart Area of the chart
and drag-and-drop to the Powerpoint.
