title: Unlink chart from excel and keep data editable?
body: <p>for the longest of times I've been trying to achieve this to no avail. It seems like it should be a common problem but still I haven't been able find an answer. What I want to do is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Have a chart in Excel and/or Powerpoint. </li>
  <li>Copy this chart as a chart object into PPT.</li>
  <li>Keep all characteristics of the original chart but maintain it editable (i.e. - add/remove axes, data labels etc)</li>
  <li>Break the link to the original chart/workbook but <strong>keep the data editable</strong>. I.e., I want a new excel sheet opened when I want to edit the data, just like it works if I create a new chart object.
  <ul>
  <li>Preferably, I would like to convert the data of the original to this new chart sheet but this is not of really high importance.</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to be able to use graphs as templates for a new graph without editing the original data. Please help!</p>
  
  <p>PS. I didn't include any code as most of the code I've tried has tried to achieve something else. I mostly want to know if this is even possible to do (it should be!)?</p>
