Usually when you insert a chart or data from Excel into Word or PowerPoint it will automatically update the chart (or offer you the option to) when you open the file again if the Excel data changed. does this carries over into USING 2016 OneDrive?

Yes, If the excel are uploaded in OneDrive. So, yes if the Excel data changed then automatically carries over to OneDrive as well.

Hi,
This feature is fully supported in OneDrive 2016.
The data link remains when you insert a chart to a Word file from an Excel file in OneDrive, and will automatically update the charts in both files as long as you keep OneDrive in a synced status.
