How To Temporarily Disable PowerPoint Charts Which Are Linked
Nov 9, 2011
How to temporarily disable PowerPoint charts which are linked to Excel. The problem is, whenever I copy a slide and try to paste it elsewhere, Office attempts to update all of the links in the entire PowerPoint. Since the slide deck has so many links, this takes an awful lot of time to do. I don't want to break the links completely as I would lose any ability to keep them dynamic. I've checked all of the advanced options within PowerPoint, but cannot find any way to temporarily disable links from updating.
I have created a powerpoint that has linked charts from excel. Stupidly, I have saved both of these files (powerpoint and excel) on my desktop.
I need to save them on another drive (so they can be accessed by others) but i am worried that if i move the original excel file, it will break the links for the charts in the powerpoint file....
I have over 150 charts so I don't fancy going through and re-pasting each chart.
I need to export serveral charts to several slides within PowerPoint from Excel Using VBA. I use 2002 versions. I added chartobjects (2) under 1 but not sure if that is the correct placement to start adding more charts to slides.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 'Sub PowerPointOLEAutomation() Dim ppt As Object, pres As Object 'Create a Microsoft PowerPoint session Set ppt = CreateObject("powerpoint.application") 'Copy the chart on the Chart Labels Demo sheet Worksheets("sw dr").ChartObjects(1).Copy 'Worksheets("sw dr&ot").ChartObjects(2).Copy 'Create a new document in Microsoft PowerPoint Set pres = ppt.Presentations.Add.........................
I am trying to export charts to powerpoint. I have a sheet where the user gives the list of excel files and sheet names (charts as sheet) to be imported. I run a loop to create this... but then i get a script out of range error.
Sub Chart2PPT() Dim objPPT As Object Dim objPrs As Object Dim shtTemp As Worksheet Dim chtTemp As Chart Dim intSlide As Integer Dim FSO As Object Dim FromPath As String Dim ToPath As String Set FSO = New FileSystemObject If FSO.FileExists("\server4meme.ppt") Then Kill ("\server4meme.ppt") End If Set FSO = New FileSystemObject If FSO.FileExists("\server4me ot.xls") Then Kill ("\server4me ot.xls").........................
I don't know if this is possible, but is there a way to have a macro in Excel copy and paste charts into a Powerpoint file? I've got a program that creates all the material needed for a Powerpoint slide deck and I want to automate the copy/paste work.
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
Right now the code takes charts & tables from all sheets in a workbook. I would like to limit this to only charts on one tab - CHARTS.
I am also looking to tweak this to open an existing presentation, as well as apply a template instead of simply pasting to blank slides.
Sub Chart2PPT() Dim objPPT As Object Dim objPrs As Object Dim objSld As Object Dim shtTemp As Object Dim chtTemp As ChartObject Dim objShape As Shape Dim objGShape As Shape Dim intSlide As Integer Dim blnCopy As Boolean
For Each shtTemp In ThisWorkbook. Sheets blnCopy = False If shtTemp.Type = xlWorksheet Then For Each objShape In shtTemp.Shapes 'chtTemp In shtTemp.ChartObjects blnCopy = False If objShape.Type = msoGroup Then ' if ANY item in group is a chart................
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 have a workbook with multiple charts in and will be available to others to use but I want to disable the ability for them to be able to right click on a chart and make any alterations. I cannot lock out the page due to other things that I have going on. I also need to reverse this code when they close the workbook down so it does not affect any other workbooks
I have a sheet with about 50-60 charts and I am hoping to have a master list of chart titles on the side, how can I link these titles with the charts themselves?
On a weekly basis I update a suite of charts in one workbook that are created from several other linked workbooks. Once compiled I send this via email to a colleague who incorporates it into another report by printing the charts as a pdf. For some reason he often ends up with erroneous data (zero's where there shouldn't be on the charts), or often his system doesn't display certain elements like titles and axes etc
We think his system is spending resource looking for the original data and getting itself knotted up, but surely there should be a way of delinking the charts but maintaining their integrity as they are saved?
I have a Reporting workbook I designed. There is a "Parent" workbook with the following design.
It has 6 Pivot Tables on a Sheet called "Data"
It has 6 Pivot Charts that were created from these tables on a page called "Summary"
These 6 Pivot Charts are all linked through a pair of slicers.
There is a "control" page which has instructions and buttons that trigger "Refresh All" and "Create Child Workbok".
This design is so that someone unfamiliar with excel could conceivably create the final product.
Essentially I have written/put together VBA to Create a new workbook "child" which has should be a funcitoning copy of the "parent".
The problem is the copiedmoved (I have tried both) Pivot Charts no longer update/refresh when the pivot tables change. I have script that reconnects the Pivot Tables to the Slicers. Slicers are fully funcitonal. Links in cells are fully functional.
Some of this code might look familiar.
Code:
Sub createWB() ' Copies VBA modules, Calls Dim wbNew As Workbook, wbT As Workbook Set wbT = ActiveWorkbook On Error Resume Next Kill ("PATHmod1.bas") Kill ("PATHmod2.bas")
I'm trying to use VBA to automatically change the data displayed in an excel chart. To do this I count the number of items displayed on the chart using Chart.Seriescollection.Count. I then loop over the Chart.Seriescollection(x) and try to change the Chart.Seriescollection(x).Formula string to link to the cells I want.
Problem is that, sometimes, the cells the curve is currently linked to are empty. Such a curve does show up in the Count, but I can't access the .Formula, even though this can be done manually from within Excel.
I want create something (a macro), maybe ending in a button to activate or desactivate the update (relatively) of the charts and relative cells in one of various sheets i use!
I have a master spreadsheet that houses most of the information that remains in my control, and several other user spreadsheets that update cells from that master through links.
I am having some problems lately with users doubleclicking the locked linked cells in their workbooks, and excel then wanting to open and give the user access to my master spreadsheet. Is there a way to disable this feature? I would like it to not even acknowledge the action if that's even possible because it confuses them as to why they are getting a prompt to open another document.
I have been trying to remove or disable the message on update to other worksheet " To update all linked click yes......" I have try the following unsuccessfully
Sub auto_open() Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False End Sub
On the menu bar choose Edit ---> Links Can not choose manual, as the option is grey out (disable) I would prefer a vba solution, but I am open to anything to get rid of this message
I've set up a method to register users so they can use my applications. Very simple, First Name/Last Name/Scan your ID card. Unfortunately, that is apparently not "idiot-proofed" enough for some of my users. They keep entering their full name into the first name section, then they'll repeat the same information (full name) in the last name section. I swear they're doing this kind of stuff just to annoy me and see if they can break what I build.
Anyway, is there a way to change a single cell so that if the user hits the spacebar, it will simply tab to the next cell.
I have a workbook that opens full screen without any menus including the Worsheet Menu Bar. When the sheet opens the Title bars and Workshheet Menu Bars are visible at first and then the sheet jumps to full screen without either. I tried to prevent seeing this screen jump by surrounding my code for hiding
all menus & viewing full screen with- Application. ScreenUpdating= False Application.ScreenUpdating=True
This works in other sections of code as intented but has no effect here. Even though I realize this has no functional benefit, because I am already able to use the entire screen, I would like to find a way to hide this screen jump.
I want to temporarily display a userform (maybe for 4seconds) when my spreadsheet loads.
I cannot grasp the ontime function, and from what I can tell most messages posted on here relate to using it for intervals, or to be used at a set time in the day. (I have looked at the Helpsheet for the Ontime function, but struggle to apply what is being said to my situation)
I have a vba function linked to conditional formatting that i want to temporarily stop while a sub to insert a line is running as the sub stops when it hits the sheet where the vba function operates. When i disable the vba function (or remove the vba function) the sub works fine, if the vba function is not disabled the sub stops.
I have a Sheet Activate code so that when going through a workbook, range a1 is always selected.
However, i have another macro, which navigates through each monthly sheet in the workbook, and uses cell a19 as a 'topleft' const cell, with a time delay, so that i can view a chart in the same place for each month on each monthly worksheet, kind of like a journey through time.
The problem i have, is that i need the sheet activate functionality when normally navigating through the sheet, but this overrides my macro which needs to open sheets with cell a19 as the top left cell.
So my question is, can you disable a sheet activate sub at the beginning of a macro, and activate it again at the end?
I have a private sub macro for Sheet1 as shown below
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address "$B$2$" Then Sheets("Start").Select Exit Sub End Sub
And I have another macro (call ADDNumLine) that add additional data to the Sheet1. How do I temporally disable the Private Sub above when executing Macro AddNumLine?
I have a set of procedures that require auto recalc to be on to work correctly. I've tried application.volatile and Application.CalculateFull with no luck. I'm trying to put together code that makes sure recalc is on, but that first determines the current recalc status and then changes it back to Manual when necessary. I don't know how to determine the current status. The following code should work if the red sections are fixed.
Sub TempAuto() Dim CurrentState As unknown CurrentState = Application.Calculation status Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic If CurrentState = Manual Then Application.Calculation = xlManual End If End Sub
I would like to run a macro on a worksheet that changes some cell values. Some of these cells have conditional formatting applied. With this particular macro I do not want Excel's Conditional formatting to react to these changes. How can I temporarily switch off Excel’s Conditional Formatting with VBA before I run the macro so that it doesn't react to these changes? What exactly triggers conditional Formatting to re-calculate?
I have downloaded some of my bank statements in excel format but they are just static data - ie, they are just numbers in boxes and the BALANCE column does not react when I take out a transaction.
I have put in a formula for the BALANCE column so it does now take its value from the previous day plus or minus transactions, but now I want to do additional things.
- How would I, for example, categorise several transactions as "HOLIDAY" [URL] ....... and then temporarily make them disappear so that I can see the effect of that on my balance? I can see how to hide/unhide transactions but that doesn't actually seem to have any impact on the balance column.
- Second query: how do I make my current spreadsheet a template so that when I download the next bunch of bank statements I can just apply all the formulae in this one to it?
I have a simple macro that cycles through the sheets in a workbook, and if the sheet's codename matches one of a defined list, some of its data is added to a summary sheet.
The macro works exactly as intended, but a strange thing happened yesterday: some data was missing from the summary sheet because one of the sheets was being ignored. This sheet is named 'MCP' on its tab, and has codename Sheet8.
Here's the strange part: on stepping through the code, cycling the sheets, I noticed that the sheet icon, name and codename had disappeared from the Microsoft Excel Objects folder in the Project Explorer. When the loop got to the sheet in question
Code: For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets Debug.Print ws.Name Debug.Print ws.Codename
The above code displayed its name (correctly) as 'MCP', but its codename was blank; the sheet was therefore skipped by the code because the codename had to match against a defined list.
While I was pondering this, and doing some web searches, the sheet then re-appeared in the Project Explorer and everything worked again.
My question is this: is it likely to be due to the workbook being shared? I know that workbook sharing in Excel is often discouraged, but this is a simple workbook only used by a maximum of three users (two of these had the workbook open at the time the issue was reported)
I've changed the code so that the sheet name is inspected in the event that the codename is blank, which should guard against the issue provided sheets are not deleted/renamed.
When i add a month coloumn,Sparklines and Average coloumn should get updated automaticaly.Now this is not happening even if the data is in table format.I also want the graphs to be automaticaly updated.
I would like to know the easiest way to temporarily keep a worksheet code from running while I am editing, then turn it back on when I am done. I was thinking a button with these commands(?)>
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
but I don't know which button to use, or if I would need a button for each.
