Hi,

Please try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

On the File tab, click Info, and in the lower right corner, under Related Documents, click Edit Links to Files.

Note: If you don't see the Related Document section, make sure you've saved your presentation.        

Do one of the following:

    • If you know the new location of the linked workbook, click Change Source, go to the new location of the Excel workbook, and then click Open. In the Links list, click the correct path to the linked worksheet, and then click Update now.

    • If you don’t know what happened to the Excel worksheet, click Break Link. The chart will still appear in the slide, but the data will not be updated as the original worksheet continues to change.

Check if the issue can be fixed.

Best Regards,
Winnie Liang
