Is it possible to embed my data from a chart into powerpoint using VBA

[Lewisc_97]

Hi,

I currently use this macro to paste all charts from a workbook into PowerPoint. It currently pastes them as an JPEG however, I would like the workbook embedded into the chart?

Here is the macro;

Dim pptApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim pptPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim pptSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim pptSlideCount As Integer
Sub ChartsToPowerPoint()
Dim xSheet As Worksheet
Dim xChartsCount As Integer
Dim xChart As Object
Dim xActiveSlideNow As Integer
On Error Resume Next
For Each xSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
xChartsCount = xChartsCount + xSheet.ChartObjects.Count
Next xSheet
If xChartsCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "Sorry, there are no charts to export!", vbCritical, "Ops"
Exit Sub
End If
Set pptApp = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
If pptApp Is Nothing Then
Set pptApp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
Set pptPres = pptApp.Presentations.Add
Set pptSlide = pptPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
Else
If pptApp.Presentations.Count > 0 Then
Set pptPres = pptApp.ActivePresentation
If pptPres.Slides.Count > 0 Then
xActiveSlideNow = pptApp.ActiveWindow.View.Slide.SlideIndex
Set pptSlide = pptPres.Slides(xActiveSlideNow)
Else
Set pptSlide = pptPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
End If
Else
Set pptPres = pptApp.Presentations.Add
Set pptSlide = pptPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)
End If
End If
For Each xSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
For Each xChart In xSheet.ChartObjects
Call pptFormat(xChart.Chart)
Next xChart
Next xSheet
For Each xChart In ActiveWorkbook.Charts
Call pptFormat(xChart)
Next xChart

Set pptSlide = Nothing
Set pptPres = Nothing
Set pptApp = Nothing
MsgBox "The charts were copied successfully to the new presentation!", vbInformation, "Message Successful"
End Sub
Private Sub pptFormat(xChart As Chart)
Dim xCharTiTle As String
Dim I As Integer
On Error Resume Next
xCharTiTle = "TAP Top Level Analysis"
xChart.ChartArea.Copy
pptSlideCount = pptPres.Slides.Count
Set pptSlide = pptPres.Slides.Add(pptSlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
pptSlide.Select
pptSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial
If xCharTiTle <> "" Then
pptSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 12.5, 20, 694.75, 55.25
End If
For I = 1 To pptSlide.Shapes.Count
With pptSlide.Shapes(I)
Select Case .Type
Case msoPicture:
.Top = 50
.Left = 50
.Height = 170
.Width = 320
Case msoTextBox:
With .TextFrame.TextRange
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignLeft
.Text = xCharTiTle
.Font.Name = "Calibri (Headings)"
.Font.Size = 24
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 117, 176)
End With
End Select
End With
Next I
End Sub

Hope you guys can help?

Cheers, Lewis
