Is it possible? I would like to populate an Excel spreadsheet with my
data and have it load into the appropriate fields in a PowerPoint
presentation. So, for example:

My Excel data would include my client's name, sales data, etc.

Then, I could update the flow chart in my PPT presentation with the
data.

If this isn't possible between the two documents, is it possible
within PPT alone?

Not with PowerPoint as it comes out of the box, but have a look here:

It's a commercial addin that does this and quite a bit more.

Hi,
You can also try our DataPoint tool from www.PresentationPoint.com in
case you need to update the information while the slideshow is running.

Regards,
Kurt

Thanks a ton. Both of these look like good options.
