Multiple Excel Charts to PowerPoint
Jon,
First let me say that I am a complete novice when it comes to using VBE. I feel as if I'm in another counrty, don't understand the language and am using hand gestures and grunting to try to get my problem solved. I'm missing some basic understanding of how this whole system works. That said... I'm trying to copy multiple charts (1 per worksheet) from a range of worksheets. I highlight the range of WS tabs and run the macro (F5). I get no error message but nothing happens (no charts copied). I have a PPT document open with more than enough blank pages (although I don't think that's necessary based on what I think I read in the code). Is there something else I should be doing? Here is the code that I entered into the VBE editor (should look very familiar): Sub ChartstoPresentation() ' Set a VBE reference to Microsoft PowerPoint Object Library 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 ' Reference existing instance of PowerPoint Set PPApp = GetObject(, "Powerpoint.Application") ' Reference active presentation Set PPPres = PPApp.ActivePresentation PPApp.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide For iCht = 1 To ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count ' copy chart as a picture ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(iCht).Chart.CopyPicture _ Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture ' Add a new slide and paste in the chart SlideCount = PPPres.Slides.Count Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank) PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide PPSlide.SlideIndex With PPSlide ' paste and select the chart picture .Shapes.Paste.Select ' position the chart With PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange .Top = 94 ' points .Left = 58 ' points .Width = 8.2 * 72 .Height = 5.6 * 72 End With End With Next ' Clean up Set PPSlide = Nothing Set PPPres = Nothing Set PPApp = Nothing End Sub ----- Any suggestions?

Multiple Excel Charts to PowerPoint
The code you've posted copies all chart objects embedded in the active sheet
to a new PowerPoint slide. To change to copying chart sheets, replace these lines For iCht = 1 To ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count ' copy chart as a picture ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(iCht).Chart.CopyPicture _ Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture with these lines For iCht = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Charts.Count ' copy chart as a picture ActiveWorkbook.Charts(iCht).CopyPicture _ Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture This will copy every chart sheet to its own slide. If you have one chart embedded in each worksheet, you can try this variation: For iCht = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count ' copy chart as a picture ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(iCht).ChartObjects(1).Ch art.CopyPicture _ Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "My Own IT dept" wrote in message ...
