Hi,
I have an excel workbook with around 10 sheets with a table or chart on each sheet. I regularly need to copy each of these ranges or charts as a picture in seperate slides in a powerpoint presentation. I am looking for a macro that can copy the relevant information from each tab and create a new slide in powerpoint and paste as image.
One idea that I have is that I can set print areas in each sheet to tell VBA the specific cells or charts to copy. I found the code below from chandoo.org but apparently it just works with charts. Can anyone please help me with modifying this code that it can go through the different tabs and copy the print areas and paste it as pictures in powerpoint. Thank you very much in advance. Unfortunately my VBA knowledge is limited and I have already spent several hours in trying to figure out a solution and search online but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you again.
