Charts in each sheet to Powerpoint
 

Hi everybody,

I have created an Excel file with multiple charts, each of them is on a
single sheet. I'm trying to create a macro to copy each slide, paste it
on a powerpoint slide, get to the next sheet, to copy the slide, paste
it on the next powerpoint slide, and so on till the end.

Here's the code. I'm stuck when I try to copy the chart.
Does anyone know a simple way to achieve that ?

Thanks

Sub GraphPowerpoint()


Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim PresentationFileName As Variant
Dim SlideCount As Long
Dim iCht As Integer

Set PPApp = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
PPApp.Visible = True

Set PPPres = PPApp.Presentations.Add(msoTrue)
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
PPApp.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide

For Each f In Worksheets

Sheets(f.Name).Activate
ActiveChart.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen,
Format:=xlPicture

SlideCount = PPPres.Slides.Count
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
With PPSlide
.Shapes.Paste
End With

PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True

SlideCount = SlideCount + 1

Next

End Sub

If the charts are each on their own chart sheet, not embedded on their
own worksheet, the following modifications should help.

Sub GraphPowerpoint()

Thanks Jon. It works fine;;;except I have trouble with

PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.S=ADhapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True

It doesn't want to align the chart. I'm sure you know what I should do.
Thank you again.

Is the chart selected?

This
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.S*hapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True

can be replaced with this
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.sliderange.Shapes.ran ge _
(ppapp.ActiveWindow.Selection.sliderange.Shapes.Co unt).align _
msoAlignCenters, True

Certainly it isn't shorter, but it might help. The PowerPoint object
model is not quite as intuitive as Excel's: no ActiveSlide object, for
example.

There must be something I don't get because it's not working fine.
Here's my code :

Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim PresentationFileName As Variant
Dim SlideCount As Long
Dim iCht As Integer
Dim f As Object

Set PPApp =3D CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
PPApp.Visible =3D True

' Ins=E8re une nouvelle presentation.

Set PPPres =3D PPApp.Presentations.Add(msoTrue)
Set PPSlide =3D PPPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
PPApp.ActiveWindow.ViewType =3D ppViewSlide

' Copie le graphique en image

For Each f In ActiveWorkbook.Charts

Sheets(f.Name).Activate
ActiveChart.CopyPicture Appearance:=3DxlScreen, Size:=3DxlScreen,
Format:=3DxlPicture

SlideCount =3D PPPres.Slides.Count
Set PPSlide =3D PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
With PPSlide
.Shapes.Paste
End With


PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.Ran ge(PPApp.ActiveWindow.Sel=
ection.SlideRange.Shapes.Count).Align
msoAlignCenters, True


SlideCount =3D SlideCount + 1
=20
Next

Can you tell me what's wrong ? Except ME !!
Thank you.

I have noticed an error in what I posted earlier (sorry!), but the
following procedure works just fine:

Sub ChartSheetsToPowerPointSlides()
Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim PresentationFileName As Variant
Dim SlideCount As Long
Dim iCht As Integer
Dim f As Object

Set PPApp = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
PPApp.Visible = True

' Insère une nouvelle presentation.

Set PPPres = PPApp.Presentations.Add(msoTrue)
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
PPApp.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide

' Copie le graphique en image

For Each f In ActiveWorkbook.Charts
' don't need to activate the slide
f.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, _
Format:=xlPicture

SlideCount = PPPres.Slides.Count
' insert new slide for each chart picture
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
With PPSlide
.Shapes.Paste
.Shapes.Range(.Shapes.Count).Align msoAlignCenters, True
.Shapes.Range(.Shapes.Count).Align msoAlignMiddles, True
End With

Next
End Sub
