Insert Numbers Table in Keynote?

I have been a XP/Powerpoint user and now have moved to Mac and acquired Keynote, but I do not see how one can import or insert a Numbers Table into Keynote. With Power point inserting an Excel Table it is very simple. Am I missing something?

One person on the forum suggested creating a table in Excel, putting it into Powerpoint and importing the slide into Keynote! That would seem to defeat the purpose of having Keynote. Is there another solution?
