I lost a large spreadsheet due to a hard drive failure. I had pasted charts
from the spreadsheet into powerpoint. I have that presentation. When I
doubleclick the chart, I can see all of my tabs and data. How can I extract
that into an excel spreadsheet again?
 
Hi,

You need to right click on the chart before it is opened in PowerPoint and
select Chart Object| Open. That will open it within Excel itself. Then you
can go to the Excel menu and select File| Save Copy As...

One gotcha... Make sure you save it as an Excel file and not ppt. I've seen
that happen by mistake, and then it wont open in Excel because it thinks it
is a PowerPoint file.

Double-click to open the chart, then go to File/Save Copy As. Save as the
default .XLS file.

You should then have your data and chart available in the XLS file.
 
Hi,

Right click on the object, click on XXX Object, Click on Edit.
It should open in Excel and you can do a file, save as from there.
