could someone point me to threads that will allow me to paste two charts from a excel sheet to a single powerpoint slide.
I have a sheet called 'All Graphs' it has 8 charts, I would like 2 charts per slide (might need changing to say 2 then 1 then 3 but thats later), I have found out how to do a single chart per slide but need to do two to cut down on the reports side.
thanks
I'm using this as my base code
Sub CreatePowerPoint_or()
'Add a reference to the Microsoft PowerPoint Library by:
'1. Go to Tools in the VBA menu
'2. Click on Reference
'3. Scroll down to Microsoft PowerPoint X.0 Object Library, check the box, and press Okay
'First we declare the variables we will be using
Dim newPowerPoint As PowerPoint.Application
Dim activeSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim cht As Excel.ChartObject
'Look for existing instance

Set newPowerPoint = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
'Let's create a new PowerPoint
If newPowerPoint Is Nothing Then
Set newPowerPoint = New PowerPoint.Application
End If
'Make a presentation in PowerPoint

newPowerPoint.Presentations.Add

'If the chart is the "US" consumption chart, then enter the appropriate comments
