1. Export the data from CSV or excel file to a System.Data.DataTable.
2. Insert the data from DataTable to the tables in PowerPoint slides.

The below assemblies are needed to compile the below code examples.

1. Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll
2. Syncfusion.Presentation.Base.dll
3. Syncfusion.XlsIO.Base.dll

The Essential XlsIO library can be used to export data from Excel or CSV file to a System.Data.DataTable instance. The below code example demonstrates the same.
