Hello Everyone,
I have searched this board many times for programming VBA Macros in Excel and it has been very helpful. I am working with a macro in PowerPoint, so I was hoping I may be able to tap your knowledge. If this is inappropriate and not "Excel focused" I will remove this question.
Anyway, I have been working on a Macro for PowerPoint that would enable me to print an Organizational Chart from a CSV file that is exported from an Excel Business Planning spreadsheet. This macro was designed based upon information in the MSDN forum, available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140203(office.10).aspx
Basically, the macro is able to retrieve all of the data from the CSV file, place it into a recordset and begin filtering and writing Organizational Chart pieces to the PowerPoint slide, but it is not reiterating through the entire global record set. Using my debug code, I am seeing that it is checking for existing nodes, but not identifying and properly filtering beyond the second level of data in the CSV file. How can I solve this issue so the macro iterates through all data? Any help or insight that you can provide would be appreciated.
The data in the CSV file looks like that below:
I know that including the whole macro is frowned upon, but due to the modularity of the macro, I will include as much as I can, sans the debug code. If you would like further assistance I can forward that code to you or email you the entire PPT and CSV file that I'm working with.
Regards,
Neal
