Export Excel charts to PPT

Step 1

Import and Add File(s) Imports charts from one or more Excel workbooks and PowerPoint Presentations and adds them in image format to the current deck.

• Hidden Excel worksheets and PowerPoint Slides are not imported.

Step 2. Replace Existing Slides (Clears Deck)

Check box appears when at least one slide exists and will clear all slides in the current deck before importing new charts.

Step 3. Select Slide Size

Select Widescreen (16:9) or Standard (4:3) for the entire presentation.

Step 4. Arranging Charts

Slides start as 1-Up. Adding a second chart creates a 2-Up slide; a third chart creates a 3-Up slide, and a 4th chart creates a 4- Up slide. Charts always maintain their original aspect ratios and are never distorted.

2-up slides may be arranged side by side or over/under 3 up slides may be arranged with a single chart on top or on the bottom. Trying to move a 5th chart to a 4-up Slide swaps the charts between the 4-up and source slides. Whilst trying to paste a 5th chart to a 4-up slide places the pasted chart to a new slide below the 4-up Slide.

• Moving charts within or between slides will result in charts swapping positions.

Step 5. Reordering Slides

Grab handles in the bottom left corner of each slide enables dragging a slide up or down to insert between others.

Sliding the divider separating the left and right panes allows the user to zoom in/out and makes arranging slides easier.

Step 6. Clipboard & Edit Controls

These controls operate on the currently selected chart.

Copy — copies the selected slide, Ctrl-C is also supported to copy content outside of CDM. Paste — inserts the copied chart or clipboard content into the selected slide or the area before or after an existing slide. Ctrl-V is also supported to paste content inside or outside of CDM.

• Delete Slide — deletes the selected slide. Delete key is also supported for this action.
• Undo — reverts the most recent actions one at a time (doesn’t undo import or cleared deck actions). Ctrl-Z is also supported.

Step 7. Export Slide to PowerPoint

Export only the currently selected slide to a new PowerPoint file.

Step 8. Choose Export Folder

Select the folder where exported PowerPoint files will be saved. Export folder defaults to the source file(s) location. Click Change Export Folder to select a different destination.

Step 9. Save PowerPoint As

Enter the filename in Save PowerPoint As Field; Existing filenames auto-increment if a new filename is not entered.

Step 10. Export Deck to PowerPoint

Export the entire deck exactly as shown in the right pane. PowerPoint opens automatically.
