linking excel data into a powerpoint table

Hi. I regularly have to churn out long powerpoint presentations in a
very short time span after I receive data. The data comes in Excel in
a very predictable format, so linking chart datasheets to Excel files
is very useful. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to link
Excel data into Powerpoint tables. I don't want to do the standard
paste link because I want the table to be a Powerpoint object, not an
Excel object (this difference is the same as the difference between
having an Excel chart linked to on on Powerpoint slide, or having the
datasheet of the Powerpoint chart link to the Excel worksheet -- the
latter is much better for what I need). Does anyone know how to do
this?

Thanks!
