think-cell puts an end to these tedious best practices. You create and update calendar-based Gantt charts directly in PowerPoint. Features such as 5- or 7-day work weeks, remark and responsibility labels or time span brackets make sure that your work time on Gantts reduces to a few minutes instead of hours.
think-cell's Mekko chart is a two-dimensional 100% chart or stacked chart. Column widths are calculated automatically or can be provided by you. Values can be ordered by size and small values can be hidden in an "other" series.
Using think-cell's smart text boxes, you can quickly build up complex slides like this one. When adding text and other elements, the slide layout is continuously optimized automatically. Meaningful actions like snapping together, aligning and moving elements define a smart grid so that you never need to place or resize shapes manually.
With think-cell's data links, every chart in your presentation can be linked to Excel and updated either manually or automatically. think-cell programmatic interfaces offer even more automation. Once set up, they will create entire slide decks from your chart templates and designated data. Periodic reporting couldn't be easier.
Using think-cell, you simply drag a transparent window over any image of a column chart on your screen, hit the import button and let our software do the rest. It will not only correctly extract the data, but also the category labels and put them into your Excel sheet. From there, a think-cell chart in PowerPoint is only one click away.
I am putting together a VBA module that calculates some data in Excel and pastes it in a powerpoint presentation. In this powerpoint presentation, I have some think cell charts, that I know I can update with the help of the tcaddin (see code below). What I didn't find though, is how I can identify a think cell chart on a given slide, or change the name of this object. The reason I need to do that is that I want to copy a chart and update it with another set of data than the one already used, but if I do that with the updatechart method, it will update both the original chart and the new one. I don't know before hands how many charts I will have total, so I can't produce them and name them in advance.
I've tried to use "ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Name" to identify the name of my think cell object, but this doesn't work (Error '-21447188160 (8048240) : selection (unknown member) : invalid request. Nothing appropriate is currently selected)I've searched for similar questions, but the ones I found kinda matching my problem were not answered. Think Cell's help on the subject is not so deep ( -cell.com/en/support/manual/exceldataautomation.shtml) and I couldn't find any solutions in there.
The first parameter in UpdateChart() can either be an entire presentation or a slide range. This means that you can create one template slide with a manually named think-cell chart and then copy the entire slide via VBA. The think-cell chart on the newly copied slide will have the same name as the original. You can then run UpdateChart() specifying only the new slide as the first parameter to update its data.
