With think-cell Suite, you can link think-cell elements in your presentation to data in Excel and Tableau, and easily update linked elements whenever there's new data in these sources. You can also create new linked elements in your presentation directly from Excel or Tableau.
Excel data links
Create linked think-cell charts, tables, images, Harvey balls, and checkboxes directly from Excel data, or link existing elements in your presentation to Excel. Linked elements stay up-to-date without the need to manually copy and paste values from Excel whenever the data changes.
Create elements from Tableau
Create linked think-cell charts and tables directly from Tableau data, or link existing elements in your presentation to Tableau. Linked elements stay up-to-date without the need to manually copy and paste values or export snapshots from Tableau.
Manage data links
Manage external data sources and specify how linked elements interpret and display external data. Update linked elements with new data or revert their last data update on the mini toolbar. View all linked elements in your presentation, manage their data updates in one place, and switch between different data sources using the Data Links dialog.
