Dear Members,

How do I copy data from excel to a power point slide using virtual basic. The idea is to generate automatic profile slides from excel data.

so for example

Name: Yosef
Age: 22
Education: Engineering
Attached picture.

This needs to go onto a slide with a certain font and position. In addition to the attached foto.

Thanks in advance,
Yosef

I am not one, however it seems that you do not have the skillset to do it yourself.

Did you mean visual basic?

If so, there are plenty of books out there... go bananas. I'd suggest taking some courses if you really want to learn.

For a quick cookie cutter answer good luck on Google.

As for this site, someone correct me if I'm wrong but, most of us like helping folks who at least make an attempt to fix their own problem. Do you have any insight into why it's not working for you? What have you tried? Why are you choosing to use visual basic? Have you tried the data merge functions in Office? Which version are you running? Have you looked into free plug-ins?

See my point?

how to do it the way that you are asking. But if I was doing it and I had access to a Vista PC I would setup my spreadsheet with the photo and text where you want them. I would then use the Snipping Tool to capture and save the images and add them to my Powerpoint presentation. Anyway food for thought.

You can do an import or embed, but this sounds like ether a school project or a job spec. Ether way you need to tell the person asking for this that you don?t know how to do it.
If you are a contractor it will show that you are true full about what you know. And it may show that the agency that hired you to the company is not true full about the skills of its contractors. It will make you look good to the company you are hired to work for.
