document excel ?

Abdul,

A powerpoint table can be pasted into excel as a graphic object, or as a
picture. The table will not directly import into Excel.

To paste the table as a table into Excel, you must first paste the table
into word, and then select and re-copy the word table in order to paste the
table into Excel.

Word imports the powerpoint table format as a table.
Excel imports word formatted tables as data into spreadsheet cells.

You will need to adjust font size.
If you powerpoint table is complex, then you will get some

I tried to do that but the data in excel is going to different cells but I want the whole data which I copied from 1 cell in powerpoint to go to only 1 cell. How do I do that?

A quick answer without seeing your data is to copy from PowerPoint, go to the cell in Excel, and hit F2 to edit. Then ctrl-v to paste in one cell. This will paste your content without spreading each hard return into a new row.
