How to modify Powerpoint Chart ChartData by Excel VBA

0 votes

I'm attempting to use Excel-VBA to alter ChartData (values) in Powerpoint. The other Excel Workbook is not linked to the ChartData.

Checks: - PowerPoint is open - required Presentation is open - The Chart is on Slide 4

Behavior: - Chart Title Changes - Workbook with ChartData opens - Runtime Error '424' : Objeckt Required - Debugging marks the following line:

Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets("Tabelle1").Range("B2:B5").Value = 50

Can someone please help me with this?

Sub ModifyChartData()

Dim pptApp As Object
Dim pptPres As Presentation

Set pptApp = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
Set pptPres = pptApp.ActivePresentation


pptPres.Slides(4).Shapes("Diagramm1").Chart.ChartTitle.Text = "Sales Overview"
pptPres.Slides(4).Shapes("Diagramm1").Chart.ChartData.Activate
Chart.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets("Tabelle1").Range("B2:B5").Value = 50
Workbooks.Close

End Sub
