Hello All,
I am an VBA noob looking for help from the experts here.
Essentially what I am trying to do here is:
I have an Excel workbook with multiple sheets, some of those sheets have graphs in them, some sheets have 3-6 graphs in them.
What I want to do via vba code is: go through all of the worksheets and paste the graphs from each worksheet into one slide.
For ex: if worksheet 1 has 3 graphs, then that should copy over to slide 1 of the ppt. if worksheet 2 has 4 graphs, they should all go to slide 2.
Lastly, I want to have a maximum of 4 graphs per slide.
Below is what I am starting with. (very very basic)
Thanks for your help!
