Open an Excel sheet from PowerPoint

I am using Office 2010 and I want to open a specific Excel from a PowerPoint slide. The PowerPoint slide should look the following:

On the slide I have an object or a link and when I click on that, the desired Excel sheet opens.

I tried to open it via the option: Insert>Object>Microsoft Excel Worksheet this basically gives me a new Excel sheet.

Any recommendations how to accomplish that?

Solution

  • Try Insert>Object>Create from file browse your file and tick the Display as icon box (FYI: Display as icon isn't available to be clicked until you have selected a file)
