    Would suggest check on below:

     

    1. Update the Linked Data – If your Excel table is linked to PowerPoint, right-click on the table in PowerPoint, select Update Link, and see if the new column appears.
    2. Reinsert the Table – Sometimes PowerPoint doesn't recognize new columns in a linked table. Try reinserting the Excel data: Copy the updated table in Excel, then paste it into PowerPoint using Paste Special → Link as Excel Worksheet Object.
    3. Check Named Ranges – If you're using a named range in Excel, make sure it includes the new column.
    4. Verify PowerPoint Data Connection Settings – Go to File → Info → Edit Links to Files in PowerPoint and ensure the connection to Excel is still valid.
