Exporting chart from Excel to Powerpoint using VBA - vba

So after a bit of digging I got some help to find a code to export a chart from Excel to Powerpoint, problem is it is only selecting an object.
Sub ertert()
With New PowerPoint.Application
With .Presentations.Add
With .Slides.Add(1, 12)
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).CopyPicture xlPrinter, xlPicture
.Shapes.Paste
.Shapes(1).Select
.Application.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
.Application.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
End With
End With
End With
End Sub
the object it's selecting is a chart/vlookup image result inside of a larger chart (the object itself is named) so basically it's only getting a small part of the item itself.
Question is where I went wrong in having it only select an item? Also I would like to know how to modify this code to add to an existing Powerpoint (assuming the existing one is already open).


What exactly are you trying to do?
If you are just looking to display a chart that updates based on the content of your excel workbook you can simply copy the chart across and it creates a link between the two. When both your presentation and workbook are open it will update the chart automatically with no need for VBA.

Change linked excel file via VBA in PowerPoint

I have multiple slides with multiple charts having sample data. I want to update these charts with actual data which is present in excel files located in the same folder. Can I do this via VBA inside ppt and how?
I read this answer edit chart data in powerpoint but this does not specify where I can mention the excel file and select the specific data.
Please help!

On the question you linked to, the top answer provided the following code:
With ActivePresentation.Slides(sl).Shapes(sh).Chart.ChartData
.Activate
.Workbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "test_data"
.Workbook.Close
End With
One of the comments on the answer pointed out that once you Activate the ChartData, you're basically dealing with Excel. You can also launch an actual instance of Excel inside the Powerpoint VBA, then just open your workbooks, extract the data from them and put it into your ChartData objects like you would do if you were working in VBA in excel.
In order to launch an instance of Excel in powerpoint VBA try the following:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:\lol\Book1.xlsx", True, False
'once Book1 is open you can extract data from Book1 and move it to
'the appropriate place in .ChartData.Workbook
Set xlApp = Nothing

How to paste Clipboard image into next empty cell using VBA in Excel

I have researched the web but can't find the solution that helps me.
I have a Excel Sheet and have created a UserForm that has a InkPicture Box and is set to allow a person to open the user form and draw their signature. There is a CommandButton assigned to take the signature and copy it to the clipboard. Then paste it into the excel sheet (Now this is rather easy if you just want this done)
My need is the following:
I need the InkPicture image that was copied to the clipboard to be pasted back into the next available(empty) cell in column C of Sheet1 of Workbook named: Gaming User Data.xlsm
The farthest I've accomplished with all the research is this code below:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
InkPicture1.Ink.ClipboardCopy
Set newImg = Selection
With newImg
.Range(.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Paste
.Width = 30
.Height = 10
End With
End Sub
This code gives me an error stating that "Object does not support this property or method" and highlights the following line as the cause:
".Range(.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Paste"
Other Codes out there actually copied the clipboard image into the sheet successfully but in arbitrary places and you could only alter the general location in which all Inks would be pasted (which puts all signatures on top of each other as supposed to one below the other).
Please guide me in the right direction! What would be the code that allows for the ink captured to be set in a specific column in the next available empty cell below.

Error in script which copies charts from Excel to PowerPoint

I am attempting to call the below Sub in order to copy given chart to a specified PowerPoint presentation. However, when I run the macro which calls this Sub, the line indicated below returns the following error: "Object doesn't support this property or method." What's odd is that both Shapes and Slide do contain the methods which are called. As well, the bitmap is correctly copied to my clipboard and pastes into the slide before the error is called. You will find the Sub() below.
Sub copyChart(chrt As Chart, pres As PowerPoint.Presentation)
Dim curSlide As Slide, dummySlide As Slide
Set dummySlide= pres.Slides(2) 'Second slide is dummy slide.
Set curSlide = dummySlide.Duplicate(1) 'Duplicate dummy, set as current slide.
chrt.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap 'Copy the chart as a picture.
curSlide.Shapes.Paste '<-----------Error here.
End Sub
As well, I was hoping to provide a .txt file of my entire script, but was unsure how (it is a little lengthy to paste here). Thanks for your help.
(Note that this implementation is very similar to that at Paste Excel Chart into Powerpoint using VBA, further confusing me.)

I have had a lot of trouble in recent versions of Office. 2003 and earlier didn't have this problem, 2007 and 2010 had it a bit, and 2013 and 2016 have it in spades.
When you step through the code it works fine, but when you run it at full speed, it errors on the paste.
It's as if the copy doesn't have time to finish finish, so when you paste the clipboard doesn't have anything in it yet to paste.
Sometimes this helps:
chrt.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap
DoEvents
curSlide.Shapes.Paste
DoEvents tells VBA to wait while background operations have a chance to finish up.

It looks like the error can be attributed to how VBA handles variables across different references. (In particular, how PPT VBA handles them.) I was able to get the macro to work by actively selecting/copying the charts. I will need to do a little more research to get why variables cause problems, but at least I know how tackle the problem.
Sub copyChart(curSlide As Slide)
Dim chr as ChartObject
Set chr = Sheets("CHARTSHEET").ChartObjects(1)
Sheets("CHARTSHEET").Select
ActiveChart.CopyPicture
curSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial
End Sub

I like to use another method, I like to define an Object, then set it to the pasted Chart. Afterwards, it's much easier modifying the pasted Chart object's parameters inside PowerPoint (from Excel).
See code below:
Sub copyChart(curSlide As Slide)
Dim chr As ChartObject
Dim myChart As Object
Set chr = Sheets("CHARTSHEET").ChartObjects(1)
chr.Copy
' setting myChart object to the pasted chart (let's me later an easy way to modify it's parameters)
Set myChart = curSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteBitmap, msoFalse) ' can change first parameter to other avaialabe formats : ppPasteGIF, ppPasteEnhancedMetafile, ppPasteOLEObject, etc.
' set different parameters for the pasted chart in PowerPoint slide
With myChart
.Left = 200
.Top = 200
End With
End Sub
In the code line:
Set myChart = curSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteBitmap, msoFalse)
You can change the first parameter in brackets: ppPasteBitmap to many other avaialble formats (test them and see which one gives you the best result), such as: ppPasteGIF, ppPasteEnhancedMetafile, ppPasteOLEObject, etc.

How to edit / ungroup EMF pastes in PPT using VBA?

it's Martin from Berlin (Germany - so please excuse my wrong English)...
I'm trying to edit EMF pastes in PPT using VBA. The EMF pastes are Excel charts and I used
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=3 (enhanced metafile)
Without VBA it is easy: Just rightclick the image and "ungroup" (2x).
In VBA I tried the following:
1. Selecting the right shape (works), then
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Ungroup.Select
This runs on an error: "...cannot ungroup".
In another thread a "solution" was given: Recording a macro -> not possible in PPT 2007!
When I record a macro in PPT 2003, it says exactly the same:
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Ungroup.Select
but it doesn't work.
It seems that there should be one step before that converts the emf image into "office format" (if you do it without VBA after clicking "ungroup" a message box occurs that askes, if you want to convert the graphics into "office format").
Any idea what to do that ungroup is working with VBA?

This works here:
Sub UngroupPastedChart()
Dim oShRange As ShapeRange
Dim oSh As Shape
Set oShRange = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteEnhancedMetafile)
Set oShRange = oShRange.Ungroup
Set oShRange = oShRange.Ungroup
End Sub
and add oShRange.Select if you want the ungrouped shapes to be selected at the end.

Chart won't update in Excel (2007)

I have an Excel document (2007) with a chart (Clustered Column) that gets its Data Series from cells containing calculated values
The calculated values never change directly, but only as a result of other cells in the sheet changing
When I change other cells in the sheet, the Data Series cells are recalculated, and show new values - but the Chart based on this Data Series refuses to update automatically
I can get the Chart to update by saving/closing, or toggling one of the settings (such as reversing x/y axis and then putting it back), or by re-selecting the Data Series
Every solution I have found online doesn't work
Yes I have Calculation set to
automatic
Ctrl+Alt+F9 updates everything fine, EXCEPT the chart
I have recreated the chart several times, and on different computers
I have tried VBA scripts like:
Application.Calculate
Application.CalculateFull
Application.CalculateFullRebuild
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
DoEvents
None of these update or refresh the chart
I do notice that if I type over my Data Series, actual numbers instead of calculations, it will update the chart - it's as if Excel doesn't want to recognize changes in the calculations
Has anyone experienced this before or know what I might do to fix the problem?
Thank you

This is the only thing I've found to consistently update a chart. It cuts the root cause of the problem (I assume): the series data is getting cached in the chart. By forcing the chart to re-evaluate the series, we are clearing the cache.
' Force the charts to update
Set sht = ActiveSheet
For Each co In sht.ChartObjects
co.Activate
For Each sc In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection
sc.Select
temp = sc.Formula
sc.Formula = "=SERIES(,,1,1)"
sc.Formula = temp
Next sc
Next co

I have run into this same issue - not sure why, and when it happens the only way I have ever gotten the chart to force update is to change something in the chart definition itself, which can easily be done via VBA as in:
Dim C As ChartObject: Set C = Me.ChartObjects("chart name")
C.Chart.ChartTitle.Text = C.Chart.ChartTitle.Text + "1"
There may be a better answer that gets to the bottom of the problem - but I thought this might help. Working on the sheet I would do a quick Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V on a piece of the chart (or the whole thing) to force the chart to update.

I had this problem while generating 1000+ graphs through VBA. I generated the graphs and assigned a range to their series. However, when the sheet recalculated the graphs wouldn't update as the data ranges changed values.
Solution --> I turned WrapText off before the For...Next Loop that generates the graphs and then turned it on again after the loop.
Workbooks(x).Worksheets(x).Cells.WrapText=False
and after...
Workbooks(x).Worksheets(x).Cells.WrapText=True
This a great solution because it updates 1000+ graphs at once without looping through them all and changing something individually.
Also, I'm not really sure why this works; I suppose when WrapText changes one property of the data range it makes the graph update, although I have no documentation on this.

I had the same problem with a simple pie chart.
None of the macros worked that I tried. Nothing worked on cut, pasting, relocating chart.
The Workaround I found was to edit the chart text, remove the labels, then re-select the labels. Once they re-appeared, they were updated.

This is an absurd bug that is severely hampering my work with Excel.
Based on the work arounds posted I came to the following actions as the simplist way to move forward...
Click on the graph you want update - Select CTRL-X, CTRL-V to cut and paste the graph in place... it will be forced to update.

This works very well for me -- it flips axes on all charts and then flips them back, which causes them to refresh without changing at all.
'Refresh all charts
For Each mysheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
mysheet.Activate
For Each mychart In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
mychart.Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.PlotBy = xlRows
ActiveChart.PlotBy = xlColumns
ActiveChart.PlotBy = xlRows
Next
Next

This is a known Excel bug...
The best and fastest workaround is the Columns.AutoFit - Trick:
Sub Update_Charts()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Temp = ActiveCell.ColumnWidth
ActiveCell.Columns.AutoFit
ActiveCell.ColumnWidth = Temp
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have another problem of refeshing charts. When generating the charts automatically, some charts appear over and cache the text in the sheet. It happens to be a problem of refreshing the generated charts. When I zoom in or zoom out, I can get the expected results. So I post the solution here if it interest someone.
Programmatically, I added this after generating charts :
ActiveWindow.Zoom = ActiveWindow.Zoom + 1
ActiveWindow.Zoom = ActiveWindow.Zoom - 1

Ok I have a solution, really....
I found that the problem with my charts not updating first occurred shortly after I had hidden some data columns feeding the chart, and checked "show data hidden in rows and columns" in the Chart's "Select Data Source" msg box).
I found that if I went back into the "Select Data Source" msg box and unchecked/rechecked the "show data hidden in rows and columns" that the chart refreshes.
Programatically I inserted the following into a Macro that I linked a button to, it refreshes all of my charts quick enough for a workaround to a known bug. This code assumes one chart per worksheet but another for statement for charts 1 to N could be added if desired:
Sub RefreshCharts()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For I = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(I).Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotVisibleOnly = True
ActiveChart.PlotVisibleOnly = False
Next I
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I faced the same issue. The issue is due to restriction in no. of calculated formulas in your sheet. you can solved it using two ways:
Manual force re-calculate:
Press SHEFT + F9
Macro to force re-calculate:
add below code to the end of the function which changes the data
Activesheet.Calculate
I found the solution of it:
From excel options make sure to change the calculation options as below. It changed sometimes to manual after heavy work in excel.

We found a solution that doesn't involve VBA: multiplying some element of the chart's data range by TODAY()-TODAY()+1.
Even though the range was recalculating without this, the volatile nature of TODAY() somehow gives it an extra boost that triggers the chart recalc.

This problem is ridiculous! No one's solution worked for me in 2010, but I based mine off of tpascale's:
Dim C As ChartObject
Set C = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("CTR_Chart")
C.Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Range( _
"KeywordBreakdown!$A$8:$A$12,KeywordBreakdown!$E$8:$E$12")
Simply redefined the Source Data range. If it's a named range, that could conceivably be reasonably clean. I guess the best solution to this is keep trying to modify different chart properties until it refreshes.

I had this problem and found that it was caused by having two excel applications running at the same time. If I closed everything and opened just the file I was having problems with the charts where dynamic like they should be. Maybe this helps

This worked for me, it cuts and re-pastes the charts on the active worksheet. I based this off of Jason's code and a blog post I found in a quick Google search.
Sub RepasteCharts()
Dim StrTemp As String
Dim IntTempTop As Integer
Dim IntTempLeft As Integer
Set sht = ActiveSheet
For Each co In sht.ChartObjects
'Activate the chart
co.Activate
'Grab current position on worksheet
IntTempTop = ActiveChart.Parent.Top
IntTempLeft = ActiveChart.Parent.Left
'Cut and paste
ActiveChart.Parent.Cut
ActiveSheet.Paste
'Reposition to original position
ActiveChart.Parent.Top = IntTempTop
ActiveChart.Parent.Left = IntTempLeft
Next co
End Sub

From Excel 2013 on, there is the Chart.Refreh method (https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/office/ff198180.aspx) which worked for me:
Dim cht As ChartObject
For Each cht In ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
cht.Chart.Refresh
Next cht

Just spent half a day on this myself.
I have a macro that changes values that are the data for a chart. All worked fine in Excel 2003, but in Excel 2007 the chart seems to lose all connection to its data, although manually changing data values in two column triggered a recalc.
My solution has been to make all charts on the active sheet invisible before the change in data, then make them visible again and call chart refresh for good measure. ( It only seems to be visible charts that have this problem updating ).
This works for me and also handles similar issues with charts as well as chart objects. The refresh may not be necessary - more testing needed.
Dim chrt As Chart
Dim chrtVis As XlSheetVisibility
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim bChartVisible() As Boolean
Dim iCount As Long
Dim co As ChartObject
On Error Resume Next
Set chrt = ActiveChart
If Not chrt Is Nothing Then
chrtVis = chrt.Visible

I had the same issue as the poster. Basically I'm running a dashboard, and I have a bunch of named ranges that are populated with return values from some UDFs. On the dashboard, there are some pie charts with data series tied to cells which contain these named ranges (the problem also occurs if the data series target cells contain the UDFs directly, bypassing the named ranges).
I change a cell value which contains, for example, the date range to base the dashboard on, and the named ranges and UDFs are forced to calculate. However, the pie charts do not update--for some reason, other types of charts do. And by the way, these are chart objects, not chart sheets. Anyway, let's cut to the solution:
I didn't want to visibly change the chart title or some other aspect of it, and anyway I noticed this wasn't updating my charts consistently. Sometimes the first time I triggered the calculation the pies would update, but with subsequent calculations the pies would not. I did notice, however, that every time I made a change in the code my dashboard worked. Thus:
Solution:
With ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("ThisWorkbook").CodeModule
.AddFromString "'test"
.DeleteLines 1
End With
If you're using the Workbook module (I wasn't in this case), just create a new module and reference that instead.

I faced the same problem with my work last week when I added some more calculation to my sheet. After that, using radio buttons to select data to be presented on graphs did not update the graphs anymore.
The best explanation I have been able to find so far is this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243495
If I understood it right, if there are more than 65536 formulas that have another cell as a reference in your file, Excel starts to optimize the calculation and in some cases graphs don't update correctly anymore.
If there is a workaround for this without using VBA macros, I would be glad to hear that (can't use those as the files need to be shared through SharePoint without VBA macros).

What worked for me was using a macro to insert/remove a column in the data table for the chart. This will cause the chart to update the data selection.
I found this to be the fastest way to fix it.

I had the same problem while working through a tutorial (very frustrating when you follow the steps and don't get the expected result).
The tutorial to create a pie chart wanted me to select range A3:A10, then also select non-adjacent range E3:E10. I did so. I got the chart.
It then asked me to change a value and watch the percentage change, then to look at the pie chart and see the update.
It didn't update.
I looked at the data source for the pie chart, and the range was bizarre. It had the A3:A10 range notated properly, but the E10 cell reference repeated several times, and it had all of the E cells listed in a random order. It looked like
=SERIES(,(Revenue!$A$3:$A$10,Revenue!$E$3,Revenue!$E$10,Revenue!$E$10,Revenue!$E$10,Revenue!$E$10,Revenue!$E$10,Revenue!$E$9,Revenue!$E$8,Revenue!$E$7,Revenue!$E$6,Revenue!$E$5,Revenue!$E$4),1
I changed the data source to read:
=SERIES(,Revenue!$A$3:$A$10,Revenue!$E$3:$E$10,1)
Problem solved. Sometimes it's a matter of cleaning up your code so the calculations processor has less to sort through.

I struggled with this problem, too. Finally solved it by recalculating the sheet that has the chart data AFTER the custom function has recalculated. So, in Sheet 1, I have a cell that contains
=ComputeScore()
In the VBA module, the function is defined as Volatile, to ensure that ComputeScore() runs after any updates to the spreadsheet.
Function ComputeScore() As Double
Application.Volatile True
. . . do some stuff to get a total . . .
ComputeScore = theTotal
End Function
Then, in the VBA of Sheet 1, this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
'Recalculate the charts data page to force the charts to update.
'Otherwise, they don't update until the next change to a sheet, and so
'chart data is always one update behind the user's data changes.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlManual
Sheets("Charts Data").Calculate
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
So, the sheet named Charts Data, which references the custom function cell of Sheet 1, will do a recalculation AFTER the ComputeScore() function has updated the cell of Sheet 1, since Worksheet_Calculate() fires after the ComputeScore() recalc. This additional round of calculation of the chart data causes the chart to update now, rather than later or not at all. The setting of EnableEvents and xlManual keeps infinite recalc loops and other event problems from occurring.

This might look extremely basic but I just tried Manual Calculating on the spreadsheet where the charts were (by pressing F9) and it worked! Tha VBA code for it is simply:
Calculate
;)

As i tried pretty much ALL the presented solutions and since none worked in my case, I'll add my two cents here as well. Hopefully it helps someone else.
The consensus on this issue seems to be that we need to somehow force excel to redraw the graph since it is not doing it when it should.
My solution was to kill the X-Axis data and replace it with nothing, before changing it to what i wanted. Here my code:
With wsReport
.Activate
.ChartObjects(1).Activate
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = "=" 'Kill data here
.Range("A1").Select 'Forwhatever reason a Select statement was needed
.ChartObjects(1).Activate
ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = "=tblRef[Secs]"
End With
End Sub

My two cents for this problem--I was having a similar issue with a chart on an Access 2010 report. I was dynamically building a querydef, setting that as the rowsource on my report and then trying to loop through each series and set the properties of each series. What I eventually had to do was to break out the querydef creation and the property setting into separate subs. Additionally, I put a
SendKeys ("{DOWN}")
SendKeys ("{UP}")
at the bottom of each of the two subs.

On changing the values of the source data, chart was not getting updated accordingly. Just closed all instances of excel and restarted, problem disappeared.

I had a similar problem - Charts didn't appear to update. I tried just about everything on this thread with no luck. I finally realized that the charts that I was copying and pasting were linked to the source data, and that is why they were all showing the same results.
Be sure you are copying and pasting pictures before you go through all the other motions....

I just had the same problem, and also found that the line would only display if I put in bad data (characters instead of numbers). This caused the line to appear, but changing back to valid data caused it to disappear again.
What I found is that if I double-clicked the line (appearing with bad data), it showed me that it was on the SECONDARY axis for some reason. Changing that to PRIMARY axis solved my problem.

I was having a similar problem today with a 2010 file with a large number of formulas and several database connections. The chart axis that were not updating references ranges with hidden columns, similar to others in this chain, and the labels displayed the month and year "MMM-YY" of the dynamic data. I tried all solutions listed except for the VBA options as I'd prefer to solve without code.
I was able to solve the issues by encapsulating my dates (the axis labels) in a TEXT formula as such: =TEXT(A10,"MMM-YY"). And everything immediately updates when values change. Happy days again!!!
From reading the other contributors issues above I started to think that the Charts were having problems with the DATE data type specifically, and therefore converting the values to text with the TEXT function resolved my issue. Hopefully this may help you as well. Just change the format within the double quotes (second argument of the TEXT function) to suit your needs.

Just activate the sheet where the chart is:
Sheets(1).Activate
and your problem disappears.
I had the same problem and none of the things you mentioned in question worked for me until I just activated sheet. The accepted answer didn't work for me neither.
Alternatively you can make:
ActiveCell.Activate

For me the macro didn't update the x-axis for all series, but only the first one. The solution I found was to update the x-axis for all series and then it refrehsed (also I had code to change the format of the x-axis, but I don't think that that was the problem).
