When you add a new chart in PowerPoint, you will see that it has its roots in Excel. All chart data is also stored within an Excel sheet. When you edit chart data within Excel, the process may not be limited just to changing the values. You may also need to add a new Series or Category. If we use a column chart as an example, Series within your Excel sheet show up as the columns. Categories on the other hand are essentially a set of series.

When you insert a new chart in PowerPoint, you might notice that an instance of the Excel sheet containing some dummy data for your chart pops up within PowerPoint. You then change the data within that instance of the Excel sheet to auto-update the chart on your slide. However, this Excel instance that stores your data has no separate existence. There’s no separate Excel sheet that contains your data. In fact, this Excel sheet is stored within your PowerPoint presentation itself.

A Data Table in a chart is a tabular representation of chart data that’s placed along with the chart itself. Just adding a Data Table essentially shows the table in the default formatting, and that may work most of the time. If it doesn’t, you may want to explore some advanced options that let you format your Data Table exactly as you want.

There may be times when you need to show both the chart and the underlying data that created the chart. To make this possible, you can use PowerPoint’s Data Table option. This way, not only you get the pictorial representation of the values, but you also get to show the same values in the form of a table adjacent to the chart.
