Hello:

Can anyone hel me? I would like to take the graphs I've
created in excel and export them to a powerpoint
presentation. A graph per specific ppt slide. I would
like the graphs to be automatically updated in the ppt
presentation whenever I update the excel document.

Thank you very much.

This is very simple
Copy the graph from Excel, and then within PowerPoint, bring down the Edit menu, then select Paste Special, then click on the Paste Link option on the left
However - you may not get the PowerPoint graph animation features. If you want them, you should copy the data from Excel and paste-link it into the graph data sheet in PowerPoint - to built the graph in PowerPoint from linked data from exce

Hi Lisa,

I was working on this just the other day with some success.
The following code worked for me. You need to ensure that the
appropriate
references are ticked off in the visual basic editor. Tools -
references
The following worked fine in XP. Run the code from the active
worksheet with your graphs in it. I have not investigated pasting
these as links
prehaps someone else will modify the code to offer that level of
functionality.


Option Explicit

Sub GraphsToPowerpoint()

Dim PPApp As Powerpoint.Application
Dim PPPres As Powerpoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As Powerpoint.Slide
Dim SlideCount As Long
Dim x As Integer

Set PPApp = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application.8")
Set PPPres = PPApp.Presentations.Add
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutText)

For x = 1 To ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.count
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(x).Chart.CopyPicture _
Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture

SlideCount = PPPres.Slides.count
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide PPSlide.SlideIndex
With PPSlide
.Shapes.Paste.Select
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters,
True
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles,
True
End With

Next

With PPPres
.SaveAs "C:\Temp\Name_of_presentation.ppt"
.Close
End With

PPApp.Quit

Set PPSlide = Nothing
Set PPPres = Nothing
Set PPApp = Nothing
