I have a pptx file which has text, tables and charts. I am trying to automate validation of the data contained in the file using VBScript (not VBA or VB).
I am able to read all the text and table data but unable to read the chart data. Can someone help me to understand how to go about reading pptx chart data using vbscript?
SOLVED!
Office 2007 - Slide.Shape.Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets(1) contains the chart data.

If you don't have any formatting requirements, and you just need to export date into something Excel can easily work with, try e-text templates. Use the comma separated version, not the fixed width.
I am new to d3 but I am hoping that it possible to create a chart in d3 and output the chart to a file without displaying it on a page first. Is it? I would like to include various charts in a pdf document using fpdf and import into the pdf a chart or two.
I have been searching around for a solution to this for some time now. While I can see that you can:
Use d3 (chart.js etc) to generate a chart and display it on screen in a page
Export the image to file on the server
And then create the pdf importing the saved image
But I want to avoid any on screen display and for the image of the chart to be saved to the server directly so that fpdf can import it in.
This seems to me something that would be required frequently but I can't seem to find a solution.
An option seems to be to use something like phantomjs as an interim step but I think that this needs to be running on my host. It would be great if it could be exported to file driectly from d3. Is this possible?
I want to add a new slide to an existing powerpoint file and add a new line chart.
The number of series and data points and labels will be dynamic. How to achieve it using Open XML SDK? I couldn't find any good documentation on charts.
Thanks
The main idea: a user creates a powerpoint file with 1 slide, and this slide is inserted into a slideshow which is already looping.
A first idea I had was to convert the .ppt file into an image (e.g. using http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter/ or a .NET API), and then create a flash application which scans a directory for images(/converted slides) to show.
But this seems a bit like a complex solution, any suggestions?
You can achieve this using the insert object feature in PowerPoint.
Choose Insert from file
Select the powerpoint file
Check Link Checkbox
And its done. Any changes in the linked file are reflected in the already looping show. Let me know if you don't get it.
I am trying to take a chart(on it's own "sheet", not as an object inside of another "sheet"), and display it on a VB2010 windows form.
The only thing I could find was creating the chart using code, and then loading in the data series from excel. ie. Chart1.ChartType = "XYscatter" or something along those lines, and I haven't even gotten that to work right.
I have way to many charts to go through and manually set them to the way they should be. Is there an easy way to just use Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop to do something along the lines of
Chart1 = xlWorkBook.Charts("MyChart")
?
Your are on the right line, if you have specific questions about creating a chart with code, post what you've got and i'll see if i can help
If you want to display the chart on a .Net form it might be best to take an image of the chart and put that on the form
get a chart object:
Set Chart1 = xlWorkBook.Charts("MyChart")
copy it
Chart1.ChartArea.Copy
its now on the clipboard. you should be able to access from there in .Net as you see fit
To prove its there, you can paste it into a normal excel worksheet
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Picture (Enhanced Metafile)", _
Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
