vba - Programmatically create [Mail Merge] PowerPoint slides from Excel data -


using powerpoint 2010 mac.

i have 100-slide presentation needs created weekly. each slide has identical template. elements on each slide consist of 5 text fields , picture, each slide corresponding columns of data in excel table.

can point me code example or detailed walkthrough of how can loop through rows of excel file , programmatically create these slides?

this definately possible, , quite fun :-)

my first recommendation, create powerpoint template using master views, placeholders , titles ready go. run following powerpoint macro, can name , index/id every shape on page.

sub nameshapes()  dim sld slide dim shp shape set sld = application.activepresentation.slides(1)  each shp in sld.shapes     shp.texteffect.text = shp.name & " " & shp.id next end sub

this quick , dirty piece of code puts index & name of each item on template page, shape itself. memorise, record these. these reference points want stuff go. i'm not going go on basics of looping etc, go on key code peices.

1) open , gain control of powerpoint excel.

set ppt = createobject("powerpoint.application") ppt.visible = true set myppt = ppt.presentations.add myppt.applytemplate ("your template here.potx")

i add pages i'll need, (this can vary depending on application, , number of rows, , whether @ start, or in process, depend on whether have mapped page should put data onto, in data)

for x = 1 numberofpages     myppt.slides.addslide x, myppt.slidemaster.customlayouts(2) '2 index of template wish use (in master views, index order they're in (starting 1) next

i'm assuming know page want update @ each row, so:

for each dr in .rows  'i'm storing data in special collection, need adapt     set currslide = myppt.slides(dr.cell("outputpage").value) 'go right page     sheets(dr.cell("sheetname").tostring).activate 'make sure data want active     activesheet.range(names(dr.cell("chartid").value)).copypicture 'copy table picture, easiest formatting in powerpoint, can lots of things here     currslide.select     currslide.shapes("content placeholder " & dr.cell("output position").tostring).select 'the output position index first bit of code,     ppt.activewindow.view.paste next

now, application vary hope of basic necessities there, , should starting point.

Java, Hibernate, MySQL - store UTC date-time -

i saw here on few related questions (like this one , of course, this one )... essentially, want store date-time utc, , let application user choose time zone wants display date-time in. since seems date-time fields affected underlying jdbc driver, wonder if acceptable way go storing utc date-time: set both mysql , application server machine utc time zone (no need separate) both mysql , jvm should pick underlying system time settings (if not instructed otherwise) use datetime table columns on mysql side use java.util.date corresponding mapping on hibernate side (i guess java.sql.timestamp used too) let application worry interpreting date-time fields - i.e. let user choose preferred time zone is ok? edit clarify - here meant refer timestamps created strictly on server (e.g.date-time of record creation). application server instantiates date objects (new date() equals current date-time on server, , time zone agnostic). if client user wants supply date searching/filte...
