Updating Excel OLE chart data in PPT from Excel
Hi,
I posted in PPT group but would like to try here as well. Im trying to automatically update a Excel OLE CHART object Data in a Powerpoint slide. The name of the chart object in PPT slide is "NRMAWC023". It has an excel chartsheet with name "Chart1" and a worksheet "q20". The chart sheet named "chart1" is the one which gets displayed in PPT and the worksheet "q20" contains the data for "chart1". I run the code at the end of the mail. The data in the object NRMAWC023 gets updated (presently it has dummy data) but then the active view in excel OLE changes from "chart1" to "q20". Also, the whole object gets RESIZED and REPositioned. Thus automation defeats the ONE of the main purpose of why I want to automate, which is to avoid embedded Excel content in PPT from resizing and repositioning itself. (another reason why am automating is there is a lot of slides on which this is to be done) Please tell me what code I should write/include in the exiting code so that the existing object in PPT doesnt get resized/repositioned and also the ACTIVE VIEW remains at "chart1". Please guide me for the same. Here is the novice macro for the same. 'below macro run from personal.xls workbook. Option Explicit Dim oPPTApp1 As PowerPoint.Application Dim oPPTShape1 As PowerPoint.Shape Dim rngNewRange1 As Excel.Range Dim oExceldata As Object Dim Excelwksheet As Worksheet Sub UpdateExcelData() Set oPPTApp1 = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application") oPPTApp1.Visible = msoTrue With oPPTApp1.ActivePresentation.Slides(1) For Each oPPTShape1 In .Shapes If oPPTShape1.Name = "NRMAWC023" Then Set oExceldata = oPPTShape1.OLEFormat.Object Set rngNewRange1 = ActiveSheet.Range("A10:ag13") rngNewRange1.Select rngNewRange1.Copy Set Excelwksheet = oExceldata.Worksheets("q20") Excelwksheet.Range("A9").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues Next oPPTShape1 End With End Sub Thanks a lot, Hari India |
