Automating PowerPoint
 

Hi,

At the moment I have written a macro that takes data from
Excel and puts it onto the Graph sheet behind a
PowerPoint chart - I want to be able (in the macro) to
only show the first 10 data points on the chart HOWEVER I
still want all the data to be contained on the Graph data
sheet behind the PowerPoint Chart.

My problem is : I can get the data into PowerPoint, I
want to show the first 10 but I can't then "hide" points
11 onwards, can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance

Kevin

Kevin -

This is easy to do with an Excel chart. The only way I could find
manually to keep the data within the MS Graph table but not plot it is
to format the last N-10 points with no line and no marker; this cannot
hide the last N-10 categories of the axis if it is in fact a category
axis. Is there a reason not to use Excel instead of MS Graph?

Hi Jon,

No I can do it fine in excel - it was just a client needed a powerpoint
template filled with 3D column charts from a set of excel worksheets. I
only have 1 series on all of the charts and I can manually double click
on the columns I don't need in Graph. But I thought there must be a way
of doing this using vba - rather than having to go in to 100 odd charts
and doing it manually?

Many thanks
KD

Go to the PowerPoint FAQ page, http://www.pptfaq.com, and search the
page for MS Graph. You'll see some links to automation of MS Graph
within PowerPoint.
