A small Google Sheets range can be pasted into Google Slides as a linked table. This is useful for a compact set of maintained values. It differs from creating a native Slides table and typing its values manually, so decide which maintenance behavior the presentation actually needs.
Copy the relevant range
Open the source sheet in a supported desktop browser such as Chrome or Firefox. Select the cells needed for the comparison and copy them. Include clear headings and units, while excluding unrelated rows or sensitive details that the audience does not need.
Paste with the intended link
Open the destination slide, paste the range, and choose Link to spreadsheet in the paste dialog. Google’s guidance also offers an unlinked choice. It notes a 400-cell boundary for linked tables and says a previously linked table cannot be expanded beyond that limit.
Use a far smaller range when readability requires it. The technical limit is not a recommendation to place hundreds of values on one slide.
Check data and audience access
Inspect the table’s labels, formatting, and source values. Review the audience’s visible content: people with presentation access can see the linked table even if they cannot open its source spreadsheet. Present the slide to judge the smallest entries. Keep the source identifiable and confirm the linked table’s freshness before delivery. A link supports maintenance, but it does not establish that the selected range is complete, that every calculation is correct, or that the table is suitable for the intended audience.
