moving excel graphs and data to Powerpoint
Hi All,
I need some help with moving multiple graphs and data tables from excel to PowerPoint. I have an excel file that has a couple of charts and tables on each tab that I need to move specific charts to specific slides and location within PowerPoint. (and data tables). I have to do this every month and it is a lot of work, so I was hoping someone could help me with a macro. I think the difficult part is the placement of the graphs and data tables within each slide.
Thanks,
Montrof

I do seem to get an error when i runt he macro . it says -2147188160 Method "Item' of object 'Slides' failed: Slide3
ASKER
Also How do I figure out the size and position in ppt so I can replicate that?
to figure out size and position, you can run a macro in powerpoint like this
Sub asdgfasdg()
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes
Debug.Print shp.Left
Debug.Print shp.Width
Next
End Sub
are you getting the error on the first transfer? What line of the macro?

Yes I get an error just about every time, It still seems to run.
Still does the job?
What line does the error comes at (if you click debug)

Does not give me the option to debug just hit ok. Also when I run the ppt macro you provided where do I see the results.
ASKER
Also what about the hieght of the graph because I ran the debug and took the exact values and it does not match what I had before.
in the immediate window (Ctrl+G in the visual basic editor)

One more question when I run the code to see the position size and so forth. It just gives me values but I do not know what they relate to or which shape on the slide they pertain to.
ASKER
IF I wanted to take the macro and control toolbox sheet and insert it into a workbook, how would I change it so you do not need to input the excel path and instead just use the active workbook.
