Linking Graphs From Excel To PowerPoint (Only Once)
May 6, 2014
I have an excel that gets updated monthly for reporting. The goal is to get the graphs to update automatically by linking them from excel into power point. This is relatively easy but what when I go to update the report for the next month the data for the old power point changes as well. Is there a way to prevent this?
I've been using a VBA code to look through my spreadsheet and find any graphs in any tab and move it to powerpoint. I have about 70 tabs with 7 graphs each.
I have is that the order of the graphs in the slidepack isn't in the same as found on each excel tab.I also tried renaming them (chart1-chart7) but problem still remains.
I am using an excel spread sheet as a larger display on a huge projected screen with numbers at a large charity event. It is a reverse raffle, so as your name is called you are out of the raffle. I would like to link the cell to a specific powerpoint slide which has the name and town of the specific ticket buyer. When double clicking on the cell listing their number the ticket buyers name and town would appear as a powerpoint a window in the middlle of the excel screen for all to see and then disappear after a few seconds or disappear when the next cell is double clicked. putting excel data into powerpoint slldes but not the other way around!
So I have lets say 3 workbooks and on each first tab of that worbook there is a (pivot)graph. Now what I would want is VBA code which opens these excel workbooks, then copy the chart and paste it into a powerpoint presentation each chart on a new powerpoint slide. So it can be rather basic. A loop which goes thru excel sheets and always takes the chart on the first tab. I see a lot of different code but not what I really can use for powerpoint thru excel vba.
I have a simple reporting sheet where the data for orders place is in one sheet and on the other sheet is an imput box for 'date' and it filters through and presents a table of data and two graphs for the date chosen.
I give a daily report (contents of this sheet) but I also need to leave this sheet available for anyone to open and change to another date.
I want to copy the repor sheet into a new one and email but I want the graphs to remain, not go blank when anyone changes the original sheet.
I have a table in excel where I'm trying to hyperlink to specific side in a powerpoint presentation. I've found various sites instructing me to use #slidenumber (eg #4) at the end of the filename when editing the link, however many different combinations of slide numbers and names i use it refuses to open the deck at that set slide, always taking me to the beginning. I've tried using the bookmark option in excel but that gives a error messaging stating bookmarks cannot be used in xml files.
I have a monthly task where I collect raw data, and make up various charts in PowerPoint.
I have been making the charts in PowerPoint as previously, the file size of the .ppt was too large as it was embedding the Excel sheets into the PowerPoint. Is there any way I can set up sheets in Excel so that I can update them every month and then run a macro so that it updates the graphs automatically (without the embedding)?
I think copying them over as a JPG might work but is there any other way? I have no idea about the code needed, and I'm using Office 2003.
The problem I am having is that the data I am transferring is going to top of column cell first and then when I run the macro again it skips down to the next empty cell in the column...what I want it to do is paste the data into the next empty cell...
Here is the code I am using Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim oExcel As Excel.Application Dim oWB As Excel.Workbook Dim oWS As Excel.Worksheet Set oExcel = New Excel.Application oExcel.Visible = True '
I want to have the same format as the first one i.e., without the path. When the potx files are refreshed the link file will always be opened, so i do not need the path (this is part of a vba program).
The folder containing the files will be sent around and put in different drives.
'EHS Reports' is the main folder and that and everything else inside will remain the same. But the ppt links will not change so obviously will not update when the 'EHS Reports' folder is somewhere else.
I am having difficulty trying to access excel from powerpoint and run a VLookup. I think my problem is somewhere around the xlworkbooks.application.VLookup...(line) Herre is the code i am using below
Code: Private Sub loginbtn_Click() If txtUsername.Text = "admin" And txtPassword.Text = "admin" Then frmMenu2.Show
For the chart in the excel worksheets, does anymore know who to copy it to the powerpoint slide with VBA? (either straight copy and paste, or copy and paste in as picture?)
I have excel graphs linked to a power point presentation that runs in a loop and I would like have to the links update everytime slide 1 pops up or when the loop restarts, either one works for me. When I close the looping presentation and reopen it I get a message asking me if I want to update the charts, but I would really prefer the looping presentation to update itself. I know this is going to be a VBA setup, but I cant seem to figure it out. I pasted the links by: pasting special, paste link as microsoft office excel worksheet object.
I am trying to write a macro that goes in an excel file that creates a powerpoint presentation, and puts four (4) charts in each slide.. I currently have a code that is pasting all of the charts in the same slide and I can't figure out why it isn't working (side note: I haven't attempted to resize or relocate the pictures on the powerpoint slides yet)..
Code:
'Add a reference to the Microsoft PowerPoint Library by: '1. Go to Tools in the VBA menu '2. Click on Reference '3. Scroll down to Microsoft PowerPoint X.0 Object Library, check the box, and press Okay
'keep button in same location Set btn = ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton17") With btn btLeft = .Left btTop = .Top End With
I have a powerpoint presentation which has a bunch of Excel charts embedded as Microsoft Office Graphic Objects, but I don't have access to the source data (plus the links are broken).
how to get the underlying data. I vaguely recall once doing this with some vba that I had found somewhere the net, but I don't have the code anymore.
I have some code that works within Excel however:
Code: Sub GetChartValues() ' this macro will recover the data from a disconnected Microsoft Graphic Object (such as we used to paste ' into PowerPoint). You will need to insert a Worksheet entitled "ChartData" to store the values. Dim NumberOfRows As Integer
way to find out if an Excel file is open from PowerPoint. I know there are ways to open the Excel file, but you can get a warning message if the file is already open. So I want to check to see if it is open first before I go to the code that opens it.
i have attached a sheet where I have 4 graphs on one sheet. I prefer this to an overlay. I would like to add a 5th graph but it would make all the the graphs too small. Is there a way to make the graph background longer. For instance, extend the length of this so that I can put multiple graphs on it and then just scroll from top to bottom to review them? Also, how do I copy and paste these individual graphs into a newly created graph. copy/paste doesn't work on these?
I am new to VBA and i need to write a VBA code that should transfer or export any selected thing (whether it may be table, cell or chart ) in Excel Sheet to Powerpoint presentation. My excel Sheet consist of a table and a chart generated from this table.
Which the best procedure to copy a chart into a powerpoint slide from a excel workbook? So that when I update the chart data in the excel workbook I can update it even in the powepoint slide ....
So far my VBA will copy my range of cells in Excel and paste them into Powerpoint but I'm totally stuck as to how to resize the image from there. I've tried a bunch of different methods and I get some pretty crazy results but can't seem to punch through to a solution. What I'd like it to do, at the end of the VBA is:
Set the lock aspect ratio to false Set the Height to 5.5" Set the Width to 9.83" Set the horizontal position to .08 from Top Left Set the Vertical position to .58 from Top Left
I cannot seem to get my save as portion to work at all. I commented it out at the bottom. This is all in Excel and PPT 2007.
Here is what I have so far:
Sub Export_Excel_to_PowerPoint()
Dim ppApp As PowerPoint.Application Dim ppSlide As PowerPoint.Slide On Error Resume Next Set ppApp = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application") On Error GoTo 0
[Code]...
Ultimately the behavior I'm looking for with this macro is to copy a filtered range of cells from Excel and paste it as a picture into Powerpoint (up til this point I'm golden) then resize the image on the slide, save the presentation, then exit PPT.
If I have a simple spreadsheet with Name, Class, and date in Columns A, B, and C. Labeled as NAME , CLASS, and DATE acccordingly is there a way to merge that data onto a certificate in powerpoint so the result is a slide of each student?
I can do this in word easily and perhaps the easy answer is to just convert the certficate slide to word and go from there?
I've created a powerpoint with a number of slides, and I need to put a textbox at the bottom. I want to change the colour of the textbox border colour.
Code: For intCount = 1 To 5 Set tmpTxtBox = pptApp.ActivePresentation.Slides(intCount).Shapes.AddTextbox(Orientation:=msoTextOrientationHorizontal, Left:=120, Top:=500, Width:=500, Height:=100).TextFrame.TextRange tmpTxtBox.Text = strTolerance tmpTxtBox.Font.Name = "Arial" tmpTxtBox.Font.Size = 12 tmpTxtBox.Font.Size = 12 tmpTxtBox.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignCenter ' ??? tmpTxtBox.Line.ForeColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) Next intCount
I've tried everything I can think of for that line with the ??? in, .line.color, .color, .bordercolor but Excel VBA doesn't like any of them , I get error 438 'object doesn't support this property or method'.
I have a chart and a data table (please see attached file named "delete_1.xls).
I need to present these 2 items in a single slide of PowerPoint.
I have done like this.
-First copied the chart from Excel. -Then pasted it in PowerPoint using "Paste special". -Then clicked "picture (windows metafile)" this is to reduce memory consumption
Then repeated the above steps for the excel table too.
The PowerPoint slide that I got cannot be attached as system doesn't allow me.
Question: I wanted to a give a paper copy of the PowerPoint slide to my Director who needs a PowerPoint slide and not an Excel chart. But in the slide, the numbers of the table look much juggled and as if the numbers are too closely typed.
I tried with various different fonts in Excel and then copy and pasted in PowerPoint but the problem persists.
What things I should do in Excel table so that cell values are clear in the Table presented in PowerPoint ?
I have to prepare a monthly presentation for my company. I have all financial data in multiple tabs in excel that have been linked to many powerpoint slides.
The problem is, I update the same excel sheet every month and save it with a different name. How can I change the source in powerpoint to select and update all the slides with all the corresponding tabs.
At present, I use Edit link (ALT+E+K) > Select each slide on the powerpoint> Change source to new excelfile. When I select all the sheets, the "change source" greys out. Hence I have to do it individually.
I am currently working through data received from several experimental runs I have done for my masters studies (In chemical engineering). I need to create a chart for every experiment but coding the macro to do that has been near impossible. I have the file with the first graph drawn but I dont know how to post it.
I know it will be possible to draw every chart by hand but I am waiting on another 300+ data sets and then the amount becomes crazy.
I am trying to create two vertical axis bar graphs with the Primary axis for period Q1 to Q4 and the secondary axis for FY. I have attached what I have done so far and have successfully converted all but one FY bar graph to secondary axis. Once I try to select the last one (dark gray bar called "2011 FY" on the very far right), the FY bars disappears.
My main purpose is to get both Q1-Q4 & FY on the same graph and the reason I plotted FY on the secondary axis is because I didn't want the FY $ scale to massively skew the entire graph.

I want to prepare a graph / chart for the column A and column B. Column A has headers and B has the data that I want to represent in the graphs. The real problem in this is that the two columns length is not fixed. For eg. for January Column A & B could have 5 rows of data but for February they could have 10 rows of data. I dont want to prepare the chart manually every month. I want that if we could apply any VBA coomands that could prepare the chart automatically irrespective of the rows count.
