Scoreboard of sorts? PowerPoint and Excel

[Shibblet]

Alright, I am going to explain what I need to do, and it would be great if anyone could help me accomplish this task.



I am holding a competition, and I am going to have over 40 competitors. There are 6 different divisions for the competition. I need to show the scores on a secondary monitor, extended desktop on charts made in Powerpoint.

The numbers need to be input into Excel, and sorted from highest to lowest, as the numbers come in. This needs to be updated immediately to the 6 charts displayed through powerpoint, without having to screw around with powerpoint in the mean time.

The extended desktop is what is seen by the competitors, so I don't want people to see anything except a professional layout and changing scores. I do not want people to see me inputting data.

So I think of this as a scoreboard. If MS Excel and PowerPoint can't do what I need, I am open to suggestions of other programs.

So if my first competition, I have two scores 15 and 20, I want to put those into their designated fields in Excel, and have it immediately reflect in PowerPoint on the specific slide. The next competition comes in, and I have scores of 17 and 21, I will enter those into Excel, and it will add those to the chart that is already set up in PowerPoint.

Can this be done?
