VBA copy excel data range to powerpoint - excel

Question

I'm new to VBA/macro's and I want to copy a specific data range in excel to powerpoint. I have searched this website for codes and I found something that goes in the good direction (see link below), but I can't adjust it well enough to make it work since I don't know enough of the language.
What I need is a code that selects 1 column range (>150 cells) in Excel and pastes every individual cell to an existing powerpoint file from slide 3 and onward (cell A3 to slide 3, A4 to slide 4, etc) in the right corner.
copy text from Excel cell to PPT textbox
My version crashes when I try for example:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("RMs").Range("A3:A8").Value
The problem might be that I don't specify the shape well enough and/or give a proper range of slides.
If anyone can help me I would be most grateful, thanks in advance.

I written down some slight modification of the existing code from the link you gave above that complies with your needs.
Be aware that you will need to have the presentation with the slides already saved and ready to be filled with data from Excel.
After pasting the cell in each slide based on your logic of cell A3 in slide 3 you can move the newly created shapes with the coordinates of left and top.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Sammple()
Dim oPPApp As Object, oPPPrsn As Object, oPPSlide As Object
Dim oPPShape As Object
Dim FlName As String
Dim i as integer
'~~> Change this to the relevant file
FlName = "C:\MyFile.PPTX"
'~~> Establish an PowerPoint application object
On Error Resume Next
Set oPPApp = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set oPPApp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
oPPApp.Visible = True
'~~> Open the relevant powerpoint file
Set oPPPrsn = oPPApp.Presentations.Open(FlName)
for i=3 to ThisWorkbook.Sheets("RMs").Range("A65000").end(xlup).row
'~~> Change this to the relevant slide which has the shape
Set oPPSlide = oPPPrsn.Slides(i)
'~~> Write to the shape
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("RMs").Range("A" & i).CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, _
Format:=xlPicture
oPPSlide.Shapes.Paste.Select
'
'~~> Rest of the code
'
End Sub

As Catalin's already mentioned, you must first create the presentation and add enough slides to hold the data you want to paste.
Sub AddSlideExamples()
Dim osl As Slide
With ActivePresentation
' You can duplicate an existing slide that's already set up
' the way you want it:
Set osl = .Slides(1).Duplicate(1)
' Or you can add a new slide based on one of the presentation
' master layouts:
Set osl = .Slides.AddSlide(.Slides.Count + 1, .Designs(1).SlideMaster.CustomLayouts(1))
End With
End Sub
