copy Excel chart to placeholder in Powerpoint - excel

I am trying to copy an Excel chart to a specific placeholder in Powerpoint. I have named the placeholder using the following code
Sub NameShape()
Dim Name$
On Error GoTo AbortNameShape
If ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No Shapes Selected"
Exit Sub
End If
Name$ = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Name
Name$ = InputBox$("Give this shape a name", "Shape Name", Name$)
If Name$ <> "" Then
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Name = Name$
End If
Exit Sub
AbortNameShape:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub
In Excel I have come as far as this:
Sub CreateNewReport()
Dim pptApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim pptPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim pptSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim pptShape As PowerPoint.Shape
Dim w!, h!, t!, l!
Dim Chart As Chart
Set pptApp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
pptApp.Visible = msoTrue
Set pptPres = pptApp.Presentations.Open("C:\Users\...\Report.pptm")
Set Chart = Worksheets("Analysts").ChartObjects("Chart 2")
Set PPSlide = pptPres.Slides(4)
'PPSlide.Shapes("Analyst.Forecasts").Copy
Set pptShape = pptPres.Slides(4).Shapes(4)
With pptShape
w = .Width
h = .Height
l = .Left
t = .Top
End With
pptShape.Parent.Paste
With Selection
.Width = w
.Height = h
.Left = l
.Top = t
End With
ppt.Shape.Delete
End Sub
Does anyone know how to take it from here? I can't quite figure out how to define the chart I want to copy and how to paste & replace the shep in Powerpoint. Ideally I would like to replace it with the metafile of the chart, but a picture is ok as well.
Thank you very much for your help!

i use this code to make ppt from Excel and paste in placeHolder;
Nr = 2
'Verifique os graficos nos arquivos
For Each Grf In E.ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
Grf.Copy
Sld.Shapes.Placeholders(Nr).Select msoCTrue
P.ActivePresentation.Windows(1).View.PasteSpecial (ppPasteMetafilePicture)
Nr = Nr + 1
Next Grf
End If

VBA Copy range from excel to powerpoint

I am trying to copy a specific range from excel and past it in pp as a picture. I have pieced together the following code from various online sources and continue to get a run time 91 error ( Object Variable or With block variable not set) when running PowerPointApp.WindowState = 2.
How can I fix this error, and avoid it in future?
first i successfully run
Private Sub OpenPowerpoint()
Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.Visible = True
PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:="C:\Users\aofarrell\Desktop\CYB\Weekly Pack Update - Template.pptx"
PPT.ActivePresentation.Slides(2).Select
End Sub
Then I attempt to run
Private Sub CopyToPowerPoint()
Dim rng As Range
Dim PowerPointApp As Object
Dim mySlide As Object
Dim myShape As Object
'Copy Range from Excel
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Triggers").Range("B6:Z33")
'Copy Excel Range
rng.Copy
'Paste to PowerPoint and position
PowerPointApp.WindowState = 2 'ERROR OCCURS HERE
mySlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=0
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)
'Set position:
myShape.Left = 20
myShape.Top = 70
myShape.Width = 675
myShape.Height = 400
'Clear The Clipboard
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"))
End Sub
Hmm... Well, first you need to define what type of Object your PowerPointApp is. And what specific object your mySlide is. Remember also that Local variables are destroyed at the end of the Sub/Function, so you may want some Module level variables/objects instead:
Option Explicit
Private PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Private PPT_pres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Private Sub OpenPowerpoint()
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.Visible = True
Set PPT_pres = PPT.Presentations.Open(FileName:="C:\Users\aofarrell\Desktop\CYB\Weekly Pack Update - Template.pptx")
PPT_pres.Slides(2).Select
End Sub
Private Sub CopyToPowerPoint()
If PPT Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If PPT_pres Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim rng As Range
Dim mySlide As Object
Dim myShape As Object
Set mySlide = PPT_pres.Slides(2)
'Copy Range from Excel
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Triggers").Range("B6:Z33")
'Copy Excel Range
rng.Copy
'Paste to PowerPoint and position
PPT.WindowState = 2
mySlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=0
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)
'Set position:
myShape.Left = 20
myShape.Top = 70
myShape.Width = 675
myShape.Height = 400
'Clear The Clipboard
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"))
End Sub
(Also: if I was copying as an Image from Excel to PowerPoint, I would usually use Range.CopyPicture xlPrinter rather than Shapes.PasteSpecial which changes the size of the image based on your screen resolution)

Want a VBA code in powerpoint to show all charts in excel to different slides in ppt

I have developed vba code in excel to show all charts in excel to different slides in ppt. But i want the vba code to be implemented in powerpoint instead of excel so that i can create an addin in powerpoint with that macro. I have tried to implement the excel vba code in powerpoint but that doesnot work in ppt. The problem is that it is copying the charts from the excel to the ppt slides.`I have used the following code in ppt but with no success.

End If
End With
Next j
End Sub
Private Sub pptFormat(xlCh As Chart) should be :
Private Sub pptFormat(xlCh As Excel.Chart).
PowerPoint has a Chart in its Object Model, so you need to change it to explicitly say Excel.Chart
I am assuming you already have the references
If intChNum + ActiveWorkbook.Charts.Count < 1 Then should be:
If intChNum + wb.Charts.Count < 1 Then
Also your variables aren't declared properly as far as I can see in the pptFormat function. Dim them and use Option Explicit in your coding.
Option Explicit helps in long run more than any inconvenience of having to type out decs.
Tonmoy Roy,
You should ask your second question in another thread. But here is some code to have you select a file and get it's name, path or just the entire name/path
Set XLapp = New Excel.Application
'choose the data file
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = False
' Set the title of the dialog box.
.Title = "Select the Data File (Data File.xlsx)."
'clear filters so all file are shown
.Filters.Clear
' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns
' False, the user clicked Cancel.
If .Show = True Then
FullName = .SelectedItems(1) 'name and path
End If
End With
fname = Dir(FullName) ' gets just the file name and not the path
XLapp.Visible = True
Set xlWorkBook = XLapp.Workbooks.Open(FullName, False, True) 'Opens the data xlsx file

Unable to set position of an object in power point through excel using vba

I'm currently working on a macro in excel for mac 2011. The goal of the macro is to copy charts and range in power point slide. However, whenever I try to set the position using the .Left property, it reset the value of said property to zero. I don't why i does that. Maybe it's because I'm using a mac edition. But I can't seem to find someone with the same issue as me. Could you help me to correct to code I'm using if there's an error or at least try to find a workaround? I appreciate any help from you guys.
Here my code :

Thanks in advance

Paste Excel Chart into Powerpoint using VBA

I'm trying to create an excel macro that copies charts displayed on an excel sheet, and pastes them (paste special) into a PowerPoint. The problem I'm having is how do I paste each chart on a different slide? I do not know the syntax at all..
This is what I have so far (it works but it only pastes to the first sheet):
Sub graphics3()
Sheets("Chart1").Select
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart1").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
Sheets("Graphs").Select
range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
With ActiveChart.Parent
.Height = 425 ' resize
.Width = 645 ' resize
.Top = 1 ' reposition
.Left = 1 ' reposition
End With
Dim PPT As Object
Set PPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
PPT.Visible = True
PPT.Presentations.Open Filename:="locationwherepptxis"
Set PPApp = GetObject("Powerpoint.Application")
Set PPPres = PPApp.activepresentation
Set PPSlide = PPPres.slides _
(PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex)
' Copy chart as a picture
ActiveChart.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, _
Format:=xlPicture
' Paste chart
PPSlide.Shapes.Paste.Select
' Align pasted chart
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
Given I dont have your file locations to work with I have attached a routine below that
Created a new instance of PowerPoint (late binding, hence the need to define constants for ppViewSlide etc)
Loops through each chart in a sheet called Chart1 (as per your example)
Adds a new slide
Pastes each chart, then repeats
Did you need to format each chart picture before exporting for size, or can you change your default chart size?
Const ppLayoutBlank = 2
Const ppViewSlide = 1
Sub ExportChartstoPowerPoint()
Dim PPApp As Object
Dim chr
Set PPApp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
PPApp.Presentations.Add
PPApp.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide
For Each chr In Sheets("Chart1").ChartObjects
PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutBlank
PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide PPApp.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
chr.Select
ActiveChart.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.Paste
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
Next chr
PPApp.Visible = True
End Sub
