Excel paste to Powerpoint

[iksotof]

Hi

Apologies first, wasn't sure to post this is in Excel or PP. I am trying to copy and paste a list from Excel into a pre designed Powerpoint table, actually I have three lists of labels with corresponding monetary values in the adjacent cell. The copy and paste works mostly but occasionally I get the example in the attached where the column of values I copy (red box) is duplicated when I paste to Powerpoint (blue box). I have tried allsorts and can never resolve short of typing in the values. It seems to work with c and p on other columns (puple box) and even replicated the action from when it works, to no avail. Any ideas would save me much frustration and time.

Thank you

Could it be that you accidentally selected two columns when you paste?

No need to copy if you link the Excel Table in Powerpoint.
