Excel Export to PowerPoint

Macros can be defined as small apps that run within Excel with the purpose of automating certain common and time-consuming tasks. Often underrated and overlooked by users, the macros from Excel are some of the most powerful features for improving your productivity.

One such example is Excel to PowerPoint that, as its name might suggest, helps you quickly and effortlessly convert your Excel files directly to PowerPoint presentations.

Moreover, this macro makes it possible for you to create your very own templates, attach pictures and fill each row with information.

In order to take advantage of what Excel to PowerPoint has to offer, you must first make sure that you have Microsoft Office installed on your system. Subsequently, you need to simply click the XLSM file and the macro swiftly installs and seamlessly integrates itself into Excel.

From now on, the add-in can be accessed from Excel's ribbon, as easily as any other included Excel feature. The macro's integrated toolbar consists of buttons for straightforward functions like Build Sheets, Add/Update Image, Edit Template and Preferences.

With the help of the dedicated function, you can open the template in PowerPoint and include as many fields as you like in a single textbox. Just as easily, you can assign single images to any line or row by copying the picture from your browser to your computer's clipboard. After you press Alt + Printscreen, your image is included in the template.

Last but not least, within Excel to PowerPoint's Settings menu, you can choose the location for the current template file and change the width of the column.

While some users prefer its seamless integration in Excel, others who work with many XLS files might find it a bit counter-intuitive and look for a standalone solution with batch conversion capabilities.

The bottom line is that if you want to convert many XLS files using this macro, you need to open lots of Excel instances, not the best thing for your computer's resource consumption or for your clutter-free workspace.

If you often find yourself having to convert your Excel files and make them look good in PowerPoint, then Excel to PowerPoint is surely for you.

The macro is not only useful, but fairly easy to work with, and, once you get to spend a little time with it, the productivity boost it brings is sure not to be overlooked.
