Default Embedded Excel in Powerpoint - custom animation, display column by column

I have an Excel object embedded in my Powerpoint which consists of seven columns with multiple rows. What I would like to do is get Powerpoint on each click, to display the spreadsheet column by column.



I'd like the change to explain what each column is to the audience before they see the next as the whole lot is quite a lot to take in, in one 'show all' approach.

Not sure if this is possible as I cannot locate anything on it. Any workarounds? I can create 7 iterations to be displayed one after the other (with increasing columns not hidden)? If this is the best workaround, how do I get one Excel file to disappear and the subsequent one to appear? How that makes sense.

You cannot animate an Excel object by column.

Two possible (not perfect) workarounds

1. Cover each column with a PowerPoint shape and give the shapes a disappear animation
2. Cut the object and paste special as an EMF

Ungroup twice and you should be able to animate the individual parts. Of course it is no longer an Excel object which may be totally unacceptable.

I like the sound of this approach, thanks for the thought.
