In beamer, there may be some problems with matrix, as described here. Taking solutions from that question we have for example

Matrix is not really designed to draw a table, so drawing border lines is a bit tricky.

The obligatory tikzmark and beamer-overlay-styles answer. It might be more useful if you use more features of table, which are harder to reproduce with a tikz matrix.

@marmotThank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately I can not install tikzmark package on my workplace computer for security reasons.

@Hany I understand. You could also use Torbjørn T.'stikznodecommand. This answer is public and may help some who have a more complicated table with, say, right-aligned cells and so on to annotate their table. For your purposes Joule V.s nice answer does a great job (and has certain advantages over ordinary tables when it comes to other questions like fitting some nodes in an ellipse on the background).

Matrix is not really designed to draw a table, so drawing border lines is a bit tricky.
documentclass[tikz,margin=1mm]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{matrix,calc}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
matrix (x) [matrix of nodes,row sep=1em,column sep=1em] {%
15.1 & 23.7 & 19.7 & 15.4 & 18.3 & 23.0\
17.4 & 18.6 & 12.9 & 20.3 & 13.7 & 21.4\
10.3 & 26.1 & 15.7 & 14.0 & 17.8 & 33.8\
23.2 & 12.9 & 29.8 & 18.3 & 14.2 & 20.8\
13.5 & 17.1 & 20.7 & 27.1 & 18.9 & 16.6\};
draw[->] (x-2-1) -- (x-4-5);
% Node names: (<name of matrix>-<row>-<column>)
foreach i in {1,...,6}
draw ($(x-1-i.north west)+(-.5em,.5em)$) -- ($(x-5-i.south west)+(-.5em,-.5em)$);
foreach i in {1,...,5}
draw ($(x-i-1.south west)+(-.5em,-.5em)$) -- ($(x-i-6.south east)+(.5em,-.5em)$);
draw ($(x-1-1.north west)+(-.5em,.5em)$) -| ($(x-5-6.south east)+(.5em,-.5em)$);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Something like this?
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{matrix}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
matrix (x) [matrix of nodes,row sep=1em,column sep=1em] {%
15.1 & 23.7 & 19.7 & 15.4 & 18.3 & 23.0\
17.4 & 18.6 & 12.9 & 20.3 & 13.7 & 21.4\
10.3 & 26.1 & 15.7 & 14.0 & 17.8 & 33.8\
23.2 & 12.9 & 29.8 & 18.3 & 14.2 & 20.8\
13.5 & 17.1 & 20.7 & 27.1 & 18.9 & 16.6\};
draw[->] (x-2-1) -- (x-4-5);
% Node names: (<name of matrix>-<row>-<column>)

In beamer, there may be some problems with matrix, as described here. Taking solutions from that question we have for example
documentclass{beamer}
beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
usepackage{verbatim}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{arrows, arrows.meta, positioning, matrix}
begin{document}
begin{frame}[fragile]
frametitle{}
begin{minipage}{textwidth}
centering
begin{tikzpicture}
matrix (x) [matrix of nodes,row sep=1em,column sep=1em] {%
15.1 & 23.7 & 19.7 & 15.4 & 18.3 & 23.0\
17.4 & 18.6 & 12.9 & 20.3 & 13.7 & 21.4\
10.3 & 26.1 & 15.7 & 14.0 & 17.8 & 33.8\
23.2 & 12.9 & 29.8 & 18.3 & 14.2 & 20.8\
13.5 & 17.1 & 20.7 & 27.1 & 18.9 & 16.6\};

@JouleVThank you for your answer. Unfortunately when I inserted your code inside a frame it gave me error message "! Undefined control sequence. <argument> pgf@matrix@last@nextcell@options "

@JouleVJust one more request please. Can the matrix contain borders between elements so that it could look like a table with lines betwen cells

The obligatory tikzmark and beamer-overlay-styles answer. It might be more useful if you use more features of table, which are harder to reproduce with a tikz matrix.

@marmotThank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately I can not install tikzmark package on my workplace computer for security reasons.

@Hany I understand. You could also use Torbjørn T.'stikznodecommand. This answer is public and may help some who have a more complicated table with, say, right-aligned cells and so on to annotate their table. For your purposes Joule V.s nice answer does a great job (and has certain advantages over ordinary tables when it comes to other questions like fitting some nodes in an ellipse on the background).
