I've tried mishmashing different codes with similar features on the internet to produce the desired effect however with predefined ranges in an array, I realize that the range doesn't get pasted as embed/linked.


I'm trying to have one range per slide in a new powerpoint slide for easier reporting. So far the codes do paste all the ranges into a new ppt with 1 range per slide but it does not paste it as embed. Is there any way in which I could solve this issue?


Sub ExcelRangeToPowerPoint()
'PURPOSE: Copy/Paste An Excel Range Into a New PowerPoint Presentation


Dim rng As Range
Dim PowerPointApp As Object
Dim myPresentation As Object
Dim mySlide As Object
Dim myShape As Object
Dim MyRangeArray As Variant
Dim oPPTApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim x As Long


MyRangeArray = _
Array( _
Sheets("All DDR").Range("A3:J11"), Sheets("All DDR").Range("A13:J21"),
Sheets("All DDR").Range("A23:J31"), _
Sheets("All DDR").Range("A33:J41"), Sheets("All DDR").Range("A43:J51"),
Sheets("All DDR").Range("A53:J61"), _

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
I've also found that :



<tbody>
[TD="class: votecell"][/TD]
[TD="class: answercell"] Instead of this:
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: inherit;">'Paste to PowerPoint and position
mySlide
.Shapes.PasteSpecial (Link =True)
Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes(mySlide.Shapes.Count)</code>Try this to get a linked Excel object in PPT:
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: inherit;">Set myShape = mySlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(0,False,,,,True)(1)</code>
[/TD]
