I am not a programmer, but a novice interested in how I can add the presentation's current path and file name to every slide. Does anyone know how I can do that? Bill Foley. You may see three small placeholders at the bottom. You may want to delete the Date and Slide Number placeholders to provide more room. Michael Koerner. So when you change the name of the beer of the month, or you change your pricing, then this information is updated automatically on your slides.
Furthermore, you can start the slide show and while it is running, it will check for updated information at your Excel file and update the information on the slides, during the slideshow, without interrupting the slideshow at all.
You can also generate snapshot presentations out of this. A snapshot presentation is a newly generated presentation, filled with the latest information, but then disconnected from your data sources.
So you start with your linked and dynamic presentation, and you generate daily or weekly snapshot presentations for statistical purposes, or for distribution to other that do not have access to your data source directly.
Personalized Videos: Employee Review Example. Once DP detects updating in the data source i. Excel , PPT presentation has reloaded on that page. That means all of animation has reset and restart from the initial. How can I control?? We are aware of that and have no fix for this at this moment. When updating the data, the animation is replayed. We are looking for a solution to that. Suggestion: I am a new user to this concept and process.
I finally found this page, which I will use to understand a basic connection process with Excel. Suggestion, please include a link to files used in doing this process would be so helpful. Excel and PowerPoint files in this case. Your software is so awesome and just need to find quick ways on how to use it. Including the demo file would help to speed up the learning curve.
The question here was asking about how to update manually the connection when data is changed in Excel to get it to show up in in PowerPoint. What is the best way to do it manually as to the update without having issues come up? Thank you for providing a great product that will allow power users to keep growing as to meeting their needs. Thanks Miles for the tip. We sometimes do include the PowerPoint and data files, but not always. We will plan to add this here too. Is it possible to set up the data connection to something actually IN the presentation?
For example, an imbedded table? Dear Kevin, So you want to have an in-presentation-datatable where the data is not coming from an external data store, but is stored in an in-memory datastore in the pptx itself. When or why do you want to have this feature? Can you give an example? Currently that option is not available but I want to hear your story about this. Is it possible?
Hi Hady, we have done such projects in the past. It is not done by a standard product that we have, but a customized presentation with macro scripting where you can capture the inputted information of the text boxes and then write it back to a file or database. Contact us if you want to explore this further as a custom project for you. It would be used for explaining a product or comparing two or more products. Text to speech could be in any language selected by the user.
Sometimes an explanation may be available and it would be great if some sort of sendkeys functionality is added to skip to the next previously defined point to avoid repeated info.
Sounds interesting. We have our text to speech option in DataPoint but that depends on the languages that you have installed in your operating system. I think we can do something with a linked object. Would it be possible to create a trouble ticket at our support section and send in some sample files like data and presentation so that we can play with it? Is it possible to create text boxes that have examples already prepopulated in them that go away as soon as someone starts typing?
Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures.
