I have an Excel with multiple sheets,each sheet having multiple charts.
I want to copy a chart from a specific sheet of an Excel, to a particular slideno in PPT; with specific dimensions (ie height and width) and positions using VBA.
I am able to do the same.
However,when im trying to do so; other shapes in the ppt are also getting re-positioned to the same position, along with the charts.
Here is my code
wkbk.Sheets("Sheet2").Shapes("chart1").Copy
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.Range.Height = embededpicrange.Cells(1, 3).Value
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes.Range.Width = embededpicrange.Cells(1, 4).Value
How can we change the position of charts alone with the above code.
Need some guidance on this
This may be help you:
Sub copyChartToPP()
'Declare the needed variables
Dim newPP As PowerPoint.Application
Dim currentSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim Xchart As Excel.ChartObject
'Check if PowerPoint is activate:
On Error Resume Next
Set newPP = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
'Open PowerPoint if not activate
If newPP Is Nothing Then
Set newPP = New PowerPoint.Application
End If
'Create a new presentation in powerPoint
If newPP.Presentations.Count = 0 Then
newPP.Presentations.Add
End If
'Display the PowerPoint presentation
newPowerPoint.Visible = True
'Locate Excel charts to paste into the new PowerPoint presentation
For Each Xchart In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
'Add a new slide in PowerPoint for each Excel chart
newPP.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add newPP.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1,
ppLayoutText
newPP.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide newPP.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
Set currentSlide =
newPP.ActivePresentation.Slides(newPP.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)
'Copy each Excel chart and paste it into PowerPoint as an Metafile image
Xchart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
currentSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(DataType:=ppPasteMetafilePicture).Select
'Copy and paste chart title as the slide title in PowerPoint
currentSlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = cht.Chart.ChartTitle.Text
'Adjust the slide position for each chart slide in PowerPoint. Note that you can
'adjust the values to position the chart on the slide to your liking
newPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Left = 25
newPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Top = 150
currentSlide.Shapes(2).Width = 250
currentSlide.Shapes(2).Left = 500

I'm trying to paste charts from Excel being into PowerPoint in specific locations.
I get an error when pasting a second slide
Invalid request. To select a shape its view must be active
I have seen to use ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide oSlide.SlideIndex and I know what I'm trying to do. I just do not know how to implement this.
Sub ChartToPresentation()
' Uses Early Binding to the PowerPoint Object Model
' Set a VBE reference to Microsoft PowerPoint Object Library
Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim nPlcHolder As Long
' Reference existing instance of PowerPoint
Set PPApp = GetObject(, "Powerpoint.Application")
' Reference active presentation
Set PPPres = PPApp.ActivePresentation
PPApp.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide
'Copy "Chart 1" on "Sheet1" to Slide # 1
' Copy "Chart 1" on "Sheet1" as a picture and want to paste to placeholder
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects("Chart 1").CopyPicture
' Paste chart to Slide # 1
With PPPres
nPlcHolder = 2 '<~~ The place holder where you have to paste
.Slides(1).Shapes.Placeholders(nPlcHolder).Select msoTrue
.Windows(1).View.PasteSpecial (ppPasteMetafilePicture)
End With
'Copy "Chart 5" on "Sheet1" to Slide # 2
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").ChartObjects("Chart 5").CopyPicture
' Paste chart to Slide # 2
With PPPres
nPlcHolder = 2 '<~~ The place holder where you have to paste
.Slides(2).Shapes.Placeholders(nPlcHolder).Select msoTrue
.Windows(1).View.PasteSpecial (ppPasteMetafilePicture)
End With
End Sub
If you just select the slides it works:
With PPPres
nPlcHolder = 2 '<~~ The place holder where you have to paste
'.Slides(1).Shapes.Placeholders(nPlcHolder).Select msoTrue
.Slides(1).Select
.Windows(1).View.PasteSpecial (ppPasteMetafilePicture)
End With
[...]
With PPPres
nPlcHolder = 2 '<~~ The place holder where you have to paste
'.Slides(2).Shapes.Placeholders(nPlcHolder).Select msoTrue
.Slides(2).Select
.Windows(1).View.PasteSpecial (ppPasteMetafilePicture)
End With
After copying the charts to your PowerPoint slides you may want to move and zoom them by changing their picture properties.
The problem I am trying to solve is to automate the copy and paste from Excel to powerPoint which at the moment is time consuming because we deal with lots of charts in different sheets. So I did some research online to see if anyone else tried or succeeded at the task and here is the fruits of the research. However, it doesn't fully satisfy my purposes because even though it successfully copies and pastes in to powerpoint, the ordering is messed up since it paste from oldest to newest.
I tried to used create a loop that starts in the last sheet to the first but having multiple charts per sheet still messed up the ordering in which I would like to see the charts displayed.
Sub chart_deliveryReverse()
'declaring all of the objects that will be used
Dim objPP, objPPFile, mySlide, myShape As Object
Dim DestinationPPT, button As String
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim charts As Long
Dim counter, counter1 As Integer
Dim Xchart As Excel.ChartObject
'Message Box with a message giving the user Feedback
button1 = MsgBox("Creating PowerPoint")
'assign the objPP to powerPoint App
Set objPP = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
'make it visible in the screen
objPP.Visible = True
'open specific powerPoint presentation
DestinationPPT = "location of powerPoint"
Set objPPFile = objPP.Presentations.Open(DestinationPPT)
'Loop that start from beginning to ended
For counter = 1 To Worksheets.Count Step 1
'Commnented loop that starts at the last sheet to the beginning
'For counter = Worksheets.Count To 1 Step -1
Set sht = Worksheets(counter)
'Locate Excel charts to paste into the new PowerPoint presentation
For Each Xchart In sht.ChartObjects
'Copy each Excel chart and paste it into PowerPoint
sht.Activate
Xchart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
'Customizes the powerPoint first number being where to start inserting slides and second number the layout
Set mySlide = objPPFile.Slides.Add(2, 11) '11 = ppLayoutTitle
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)
mySlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=6
objPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
objPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Xchart.Chart.ChartTitle.Text
'Align the lastest stored shape
myShape.Left = 100
myShape.Top = 50
Next
Next
'Next
' Clean up
Set objPP = Nothing
Set objPPFile = Nothing
Set mySlide = Nothing
End Sub

Can someone help me with the code or provide me some code to do this process?
I am writing a macro through Excel that will help me do the steps below. Currently, I am stuck at step 3.
'Copy specific cellblock in Excel sheet
'Open existing Powerpoint presentation (which exists of four slides with approximately 6-7 charts on each slides whose underlying data has to be replaced with the copied cellblock)
'Select specific chart on slide 1
'Open the specific chart's underlying data by right clicking on "Edit Data"
Select the cellblock in the sheet that pops up and replace it with the data that was copied from Excel in step 1
My issue at the moment lies in step 3, where I am not able to select any chart in my PowerPoint. I would also appreciate all guidance that could help me with step 4 and 5 as well.
My current code looks as the following:
Sub MyMacroRätt()
'Marks and copies a cell block in my Excel file
ActiveSheet.Range("R55", "T75").Select
Selection.Copy
'Open an existing PowerPoint file
Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.Visible = True
PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:="C:\Users\seleveafe\Desktop\XXXXXX.pptm"
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Set PPPres = PPT.ActivePresentation
Dim pslide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim pchart As PowerPoint.Chart
'Mark the first chart on the first slide
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
If .HasChart = True Then
'Open Edit Data-sheet for selected chart
Chart.ActivateChartDataWindow
End If
End With
'Select existing data i Edit Data-sheet and replace with copied data from Excel
End Sub
Thanks Domenic, it actually worked!
Now I want to repeat this again for more charts in my PPT, so in the first step "Set rngCopyFrom = ActiveSheet.Range("R55", "T75") I will change the cell block that should be copied from Excel. However, when I will repeat the whole code you sent I also want to change the selected chart into THE SECOND CHART on the first slide in the PPT. Do you have ideas on how I can adjust this section so that it instead selects the second chart in slide 1, and pastes the new cell block into that charts worksheet?
If pptShape.HasChart Then 'first chart
In other words, I want a code that selects the second chart on slide 1, another code that selects the third chart on slide 1, another code that selects the fourth chart on slide 1..... and so on. In total I have 8 charts on each slide, and in total I have four slides with charts whose data that needs to be updated.
The following macro opens the specified PowerPoint file, activates the ChartData so that its workbook is opened, copies the specified data into the first worksheet of the workbook, starting at A2, and then closes it. You'll need to change the destination cell (A2) accordingly.
Option Explicit
Sub MyMacroRätt()
Dim pptApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim pptPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim pptShape As PowerPoint.Shape
Dim rngCopyFrom As Range
Set rngCopyFrom = ActiveSheet.Range("R55", "T75")
Set pptApp = New PowerPoint.Application
pptApp.Visible = True
Set pptPres = pptApp.Presentations.Open(Filename:="C:\Users\seleveafe\Desktop\XXXXXX.pptm")
With pptPres.Slides(1) 'first slide
For Each pptShape In .Shapes
If pptShape.HasChart Then 'first chart
Exit For
End If
Next pptShape
If Not pptShape Is Nothing Then
pptShape.Chart.ChartData.Activate
With rngCopyFrom
pptShape.Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1).Range("a2") _
.Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Value = .Value
End With
pptShape.Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Close
End If
End With
Set pptApp = Nothing
Set pptPres = Nothing
Set pptShape = Nothing
Set rngCopyFrom = Nothing
End Sub
Edit
To choose which chart to update, for example the second chart, try the following instead...
Option Explicit
Sub MyMacroRätt()
Dim pptApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim pptPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim pptShape As PowerPoint.Shape
Dim rngCopyFrom As Range
Dim ChartNum As Long
Dim ChartIndex As Long
ChartNum = 2 'second chart
Set rngCopyFrom = ActiveSheet.Range("R55", "T75")
Set pptApp = New PowerPoint.Application
pptApp.Visible = True
Set pptPres = pptApp.Presentations.Open(Filename:="C:\Users\seleveafe\Desktop\XXXXXX.pptm")
With pptPres.Slides(1) 'first slide
ChartIndex = 0
For Each pptShape In .Shapes
If pptShape.HasChart Then
ChartIndex = ChartIndex + 1
If ChartIndex = ChartNum Then
Exit For
End If
End If
Next pptShape
If Not pptShape Is Nothing Then
pptShape.Chart.ChartData.Activate
With rngCopyFrom
pptShape.Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1).Range("a2") _
.Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Value = .Value
End With
pptShape.Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Close
End If
End With
Set pptApp = Nothing
Set pptPres = Nothing
Set pptShape = Nothing
Set rngCopyFrom = Nothing
End Sub

Mac Excel (2016) copying to Mac PPT (2016)
Eventually, I would like to loop through all tables and paste each table on its own individual slide in PPT.
But first I'm trying to simply copy one table from Excel and paste to a Specific PPT File (not a net new presentation).
Sub OpenPPTandCopySelectedTable()
Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.Visible = True
'Open the specific Template
PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:="/Users/MyNameHere/Downloads/FileName.pptx"
'Make Specific File the Active Presentation
Set PPPres = PPT.ActivePresentation
'Copy the Excel Table
Range("Table1[#All]").Copy
'Select PowerPoint Slide number 2
PPT.Slides(2).Select
'Paste Special
Application.ActiveWindow.View.PasteSpecial DataType:=ppPastePNG
End Sub
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Try the code below (without using Select and ActivePresentation, which slows down the run-time of your code).
Option Explicit
Sub OpenPPTandCopySelectedTable()
Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim myShape As Object
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
' Open the specific Template and set it (in 1 line)
Set PPPres = PPT.Presentations.Open(Filename:="/Users/MyNameHere/Downloads/FileName.pptx", ReadOnly:=msoFalse)
'Copy the Excel Table
Range("Table1[#All]").Copy
' Paste to PowerPoint and set to MyShape
'Set myShape = PPPres.Slides(2).Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPastePNG, msoFalse)
' if you want to edit the properties
'With myShape
'.Left =
'.Top =
'End With
' Option 2:
PPPres.Slides(2).Shapes.PasteSpecial (ppPastePNG)
End Sub
