Hello,
My VBA skills are quite basic but I managed (partly from copying) to get a Macro to create a ppt slide from a range of cells.
Now I would like a button at the cover page of the excel to create the slides for a series of tabs (lets say the third, fourth, fifth etc.) without having to jump into the tab and click on each button.
Here is my VBA for the button on each tab. This I would need not only for the active tab but for several (e.g. the fourth, fifth etc.)
Can anybody help me out?? Would appreciate a lot!!!
Thanks
xx
Jessica
