Paste Link from excel to PPT is not working!

Question

I am using Microsoft office professional plus 2019. 

I want to link a table in excel to a PPT slide so that when I update the data in excel, the data in PPT updates automatically. 

But, in PPT after choosing Paste (Home menu) > Paste Special> Paste link > Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object and when I press OK button nothing 

gets pasted onto the slide. The slide is empty and there is no table data pasted.

I tried in word and it works. The problem is only with PPT. 

I tried Paste (Home menu) > Paste Special> Paste link > Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object + Display as Icon checkbox selected. It inserts a excel icon in PPT slide and when I click the icon, it navigates to respective Excel sheet automatically. But I want to display the actual excel table data and not just the icon.

I tried Insert > Object > Create from file and it works. But it links the entire excel sheet and not just few cells or tables i want.

Hi @Surendar Kasinathan，

Based on my test, I suggest you roll back to earlier version:

Press Win + R to open Run dialog.

• Enter "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.10411.20011 to roll back to "Version 1808 (Build 10411.20011)".

Besides, you may raise this issue via clicking Help > Feedback > Send a Frown and submit feedback on this issue.

Thanks for your understanding.
