Powerpoint removes part of linked graphs from Excel

[zakfalls]

Hi,

I have a monthly report which has graphs linked from Excel. often when the
garphs updates, part of the graph is not shown in powerpoint, but is fine in
the excel file. i can click on the linked graph in powerpoint and update
which normally soves the problem but can occur again when i hit the "save"
button.

also, i have quite a few graphs in the presentation, so it is not always
viable to update link manually for all the graphs.

any suggestions?

Cheers

I would suggest putting the charts each on their own chart sheet and setting
the view at 100%. Then inserting and linking them.

Solution makes sense, but not really viable in my case.

Thanks anyway.
