Google Slides Linked Charts From Sheets: Update Workflow
Set up charts that can be refreshed when numbers change.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Help me use charts from Google Sheets in Google Slides. Data and chart types: [DATA_AND_CHARTS]. How often the numbers change: [CHANGE_FREQUENCY]. Who owns the Sheet and the deck: [OWNERS]. Explain the choice between linked charts that can be updated and pasted images, with the risks: stale numbers, broken access for viewers, and the need to open the source sheet [VERIFY]. Recommend a workflow: keep one report tab in the Sheet, name charts clearly, update links before every presentation and record the date. Five-step pre-presentation routine with the time it takes, a checklist to confirm the numbers match the sheet after updating, and a dated frozen copy saved before important presentations so the numbers shown can be reproduced. Write slide titles as sentences stating the finding, with differences and percentages calculated and the arithmetic shown, using only my data. For decks that go outside the organisation, use a static version and remove links to internal sheets.
