Follow-up: Explain how to copy/import tables to Excel using presentation software

This exercise was originally posted at: http://maritimeorca0.blogspot.com/2015/01/explain-how-to-copyimport-tables-to.html

The Task

Create a presentation that shows how to copy and import data into Excel. Show how to partially automate data entry from existing data tables online for tasks such as the Weather Index.

My Solution

My slide show can be found at: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=2E6EFB80915ED5BD!8497&authkey=!AFQEIpe6MatTh_Q&ithint=file%2cpptx

Notes

Like I said, this is a little different for my challenge exercises. I'm not entirely certain that these exercises have the same value as some of my others, but it at least encourages people to try presentation software. I'm a little concerned that these exercises could become too repetitive. Since the first time is more valuable than the hundredth, there might not be enough reason to maintain these exercises. Not only that, but my slide show came off a bit too much as a step-by-step explanation (without detailing simpler tasks). That is never an ideal way to learn new tasks (since they promote mindless dependence).

Feel Free to Comment

Now that this exercise has concluded, feel free to share any thoughts that you had regarding results, your approach, and any other ideas that popped in your head regarding this exercise.

I do not provide space to those who visit my blog. If you would like to share any files, you are going to have to find your own online storage. At that point, you can provide links with your comments. I would like to point out that macros can create security risks. If possible, save all documents as a standard presentations (not macro-enabled) unless macros are vital to your solution. If you are going to download any solutions, make sure that you are not loading macros by default. If a presentation includes macros, check the code before running them.
