Size of Edit data Excel window of a linked chart in Powerpoint

Question

I copy-pasted a chart from Excel to PowerPoint 2021.

When I right-click on the chart in PowerPoint and select "Edit Data", a very small simplified Excel file opens - it only shows 3 rows, so I need to resize it each time. Is there a setting with which the a larger window would open?

Hello Boris Kodrič,     Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate that you've taken the time to post your concern here in Microsoft Community Forum.We understand that you’re having trouble editing data in Excel. Let’s check on this together and find ways to address this matter.

I have replicated the issue and it would be best if you select the " edit data in Excel " instead of edit data so that your excel sheet would open on a bigger size and you don't need to resize it every time you edit the graph and it would still save all changes on the file.

We look forward to your response on the results. If you have other clarifications about this matter, you can get back to us by replying to this post.

Dear Juhn Jac,

thank you very much. Yes, your proposed solution does help, however I am still wondering if there is no way to set a default windows size when using "Edit data" only. Perhaps it will be added some time in the future.

Thank you again.
