I want to delete everything in my powerpoint presentation, except the charts that are already there. I have been searching for day with no avail.
I did however find this VBA that deletes all charts. Unfortunately, it is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. I have tried using VBA found in other code and adding it, but nothing helps. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sub RemoveAllCharts()
Dim sld As Slide
Dim i, num
'Loop Through Each Slide in ActivePresentation
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
num = sld.Shapes.Count
For i = num To 1 Step -1
If sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
sld.Shapes(i).Delete
End If
Next i
Next sld
End Sub
You might be able to add a Not to achieve this, i.e. change
If sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
to
If Not sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
Sub RemoveAllButCharts()
Dim sld As Slide
Dim i As Long, num As Long
'Loop Through Each Slide in ActivePresentation
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
num = sld.Shapes.Count
For i = num To 1 Step -1
If Not sld.Shapes(i).HasChart Then
sld.Shapes(i).Delete
End If
Next i
Next sld
End Sub

I would like do detele all picture png from an active window from MS Visio in VBA so I tried this:
Sub DeleteAllShapes()
Dim vsoSelection As Visio.Selection
Set vsoSelection = ActiveWindow.Selection
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In vsoSelection
If shp.Type <> msoPicture Then shp.Delete
Next shp
End Sub
But it deletes just the last select and not all in the page
When deleting shapes you need to use a plain For loop and count backwards.
For shp = vsoSelection.Count To 1 Step -1
more code
Next shp
I have the below code which adds periods to the body of a PPT slide:
Sub TitlePeriod()
On Error Resume Next
Dim sld As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim strTitle As String
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
If sld.Shapes.HasTitle = True Then 'check if there is a title
strTitle = sld.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Else
strTitle = ""
End If
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
'add periods only if text of shape is not equal to title text.
If strTitle <> shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
If shp.HasTable Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
End If
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
I am trying to add bit to the code that will add periods to tables within a slide as well
If shp.HasTable Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
When I run the code there are not errors, but there are no periods added within the table. Would love some advice or any tips on how to fix this.
Thanks in advance
First, I would like to offer some advice. When trying to figure out issues like this, it is best to try to examine the object in the locals window. This way, you can search through the properties of the object (in this case, the shape object, shp, which happens to be a Table) and figure out which properties you need to modify to achieve your desired results. No offense meant, but from your questions, it appears that you are new to VBA and found some of this code somewhere.
Also, the code was actually causing an error for me, as the Table shape did not have a textframe (although I only made a test table....perhaps yours actually had one). I added a check for the textFrame.
For your specific question, a shape object with a table, has a Table property that needs to be used to add things to the cells. The Table, in turn, has a Columns object which is a collection of columns. You need to loop through all of the columns. Each column is a collection of cells, so you need to loop through the cells. Each cell has the textframe and textrange objects you are looking for, so you need to run the .AddPeriods method on these objects.
Sub TitlePeriod()
On Error Resume Next
Dim sld As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim strTitle As String
Dim myTable As Table
Dim myColumns As Columns
Dim col As Column
Dim myCell As Cell
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
If sld.Shapes.HasTitle = True Then 'check if there is a title
strTitle = sld.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Else
strTitle = ""
End If
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
'add periods only if text of shape is not equal to title text.
If shp.TextFrame.HasText Then 'check to make sure there is text in the shape
If strTitle <> shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text Then
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods
End If
End If
If shp.HasTable Then 'Check to see if shape is a table
Set myTable = shp.Table 'Get the table object of the shape
Set myColumns = myTable.Columns 'Get the columns of the table
For Each col In myColumns 'Loop through the columns
For Each myCell In col.Cells 'Loop through the cells in the column
myCell.Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.AddPeriods 'Add periods to the cell
Next myCell
Next col
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
I'm new to PowerPoint VBA so please bear with me.
I would like to:
loop through all the slides on a given pptx,
loop through all the shapes on a given slide,
find chart shapes
loop through the chart's series collection
set the datalabel color property to dark black.
So far I have been able to complete the first 3 tasks but I need help with the last 2. Here is my code:
Sub test()
Dim slide As Object
Dim shape As Object
Dim shapeNames As Object
Dim chSeries As Series
i = 0
For Each slide In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each shape In slide.Shapes
If shape.HasChart Then
i = i + 1
Debug.Print "found a chart on slide", i
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
Solved.
Sub test()
Dim sld As Slide
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sr As Series
Dim chrt As Chart
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each shp In sld.Shapes
If shp.HasChart Then
Debug.Print shp.Chart.ChartType
If shp.Chart.ChartType = 57 Then
shp.Chart.SeriesCollection(1).DataLabels.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
End If
Next shp
Next sld
End Sub
Though I didn't successfully loop over the series in chart but this works.
I'm "very" new at this. I am currently working with a ppt file containing ~120 slides, each containing a table with identical fields but different values. I want to copy these tables into an Excel file. There is no chart associated with the tables.
I don't care about the field names but just the value and I am looking for a VBA code to do automate this.
Is it even possible or is to too simple. I tried recording a PPT macro for copying the table (alt + t + m + r) but am not sure what to do after that, or how to start an Excel file to paste this macro etc.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I'm not all that good with Excel, but perhaps someone else who is can fill in the blanks here. This is more or less what you'd need to locate the first table on each slide in PowerPoint and do something with it. Perhaps someone who's good with Excel will fill in the missing bits.
Sub CopyTables()
Dim oSl As Slide
Dim oTbl As Table
Dim lCol As Long
Dim lRow As Long
For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
Set oTbl = GetFirstTable(oSl)
If oTbl Is Nothing Then
Exit For
End If
With oTbl
For lCol = 1 To .Columns.Count
For lRow = 1 To .Rows.Count
Debug.Print oTbl.Cell(lRow, lCol).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text
Next
Next
End With
Next
End Sub
Function GetFirstTable(oSl As Slide) As Table
Dim oSh As Shape
For Each oSh In oSl.Shapes
If oSh.HasTable Then
Set GetFirstTable = oSh.Table
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I just want the code or property to find chart in the powerpoint silde using macro(vba).
thanks
One way to find chart is
Sub EachSlides()
'developer by Bruno Leite
'http://officevb.com
Dim sld As Slide
Dim i As Integer
For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For i = 1 To sld.Shapes.Placeholders.Count
'select the placeholder
sld.Shapes.Placeholders(i).Select msoCTrue
Next i
Next sld
End Sub
