Generating a powerpoint presentation with VBA and Excel -


i have template presentation on powerpoint. replace automatically generic placeholders value input in linked excel worksheet.

i started looking @ vba @ begining of week, not yet familiar syntax, optimistic find way understand it.

i have put "[ ]" everywhere want value input: enter image description here

the excel sheet present this: enter image description here

i have pointers (first, know if indeed possible in powerpoint) me started in right direction.

does need publicsub()? writing macro on powerpoint or in excel?

can use fonction similar lookupv values replace placeholders?

i imagine :

(side question : can use regex inside of vba?)

for each "\[.\]" '(or characterstring.startswith("[") lookup characterstring in excel, return column 3 end each

would possible?

thank in advance, appreciate help.

found approximate solution, simpler code writing.

  • open excel,
  • fill values, , copy them onto powerpoint presentation : use special paste option between cell (or cells/cell range) want.
  • choose "paste link" option object worksheet excel, select ok.

both files linked. can change values in excel, , change in powerpoint. formating done on excel.

in order update values in powerpoint after changing them on excel, powerpoint needs re-run, , @ restart of application, accept updating box prompt.

i find simpler other solutions.

javascript - Why does running this loop 9 times take 100x longer than running it 8 times? -

consider code: test = function() { } t = new test(); (var = 0; < 8; i++) { result = t instanceof test; } if change number of iterations 8 9 , loop take 100 times longer complete in latest version of firefox (41.0.1). tested on 2 different pcs , magic limit 8. here jsperf test used: http://jsperf.com/instanceof-8-times-vs-9-times does have idea why might happen? seems specific instanceof . not happen if else object, example check property. note: filed bugzilla bug this. jan de mooij mozilla team has posted details in bugzilla thread . here's simplistic interpretation of highly technical answers: in i < 8 case, firefox smart enough hoist result = t instanceof test; statement out of loop (according tests, doesn't seem omit altogether). in i < 9 case, apparently doesn't optimization . why? reason not clear, related fact 9 iterations threshold above function considered "hot" enough run through jit compiler. i < 8 cas...
