Is there a think-cell for Google Slides?
think-cell doesn’t run in Google Slides. Its own knowledge base says Google converts think-cell charts to images on upload, and the think-cell functionality can’t be restored afterwards. Deckcell is a Google Slides add-on that draws waterfall, Mekko, Gantt and 13 other chart types inside Google Slides, as shapes you can edit again.

Frequently asked questions
Does think-cell work with Google Slides?
No. think-cell is a desktop add-in for PowerPoint and Excel on Windows and Mac. Uploading a deck to Google Slides converts its charts to images.
How do I make a Mekko or waterfall chart in Google Slides?
Install Deckcell from the Extensions menu, choose the chart, paste your data and insert. Step-by-step guide.
Can I move a deck between PowerPoint and Google Slides?
Deckcell charts are ordinary shapes, so they survive the move as shapes. To edit a chart’s data again, open it in the app where it was made.
