Hello,
I am using following VBA to transfer data from excel to PowerPoint.

I am getting error on this line:
Set PPslide = PPpres.Slides(1)
When I debug it says:
-Object variable or with block not set
And:
PPslide = Nothink

What I do wrong?

VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
  Dim PP As PowerPoint.Application
  Dim PPpres As PowerPoint.Presentation
  Dim PPslide As Object
  Dim PpShape As PowerPoint.Shape
  Dim SlideTitle As String
  Dim SlideNum As Integer
  Dim WSrow As Long
  Dim Sh As Shape
  Dim Rng As Range
  Dim myShape As Object
'Open PowerPoint and create new presentation
Set PP = GetObject(class, "PowerPoint.Application")
PP.Visible = True
PP.Presentations.Open Filename:="C:\Users\Mac\Desktop\test\PPT.pptx"
'Specify the chart to copy and copy it
 For Each WS In Worksheets
    If (WS.Name) <> "EOS" Then
        ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(WS.Name).Activate
        ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.CopyPicture
'pSlide.Shapes.Paste
 'Copy Range from Excel
  Set Rng = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A5")
'Copy Excel Range
  Rng.Copy
'Set PPslide = PPpres.Slides.Add(5, 33)
PP.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide (1)
Set PPslide = PPpres.Slides(1) 
'Paste to PowerPoint and position
PPslide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=2 '2 = ppPasteEnhancedMetafile
 Set myShape = PPslide.Shapes(PPslide.Shapes.Count)
  'Set position:
      myShape.Left = 66
      myShape.Top = 152
End If
Next
'Make PowerPoint Visible and Active
PP.Visible = True
PP.Activate
'Clear The Clipboard
Application.CutCopyMode = False
'enter code here
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
You never initialised the variable. Change this:

VBA Code:
PP.Presentations.Open Filename:="C:\Users\Mac\Desktop\test\PPT.pptx"

to this:

VBA Code:
Set PPpres = PP.Presentations.Open(Filename:="C:\Users\Mac\Desktop\test\PPT.pptx")
