Populate PPT by extracting data from excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by plshelpme1 2

Hello,

I'm interested in automating a PowerPoint template by populating it with data from an Excel file. I've previously achieved something similar using Word content, but from my research, it seems that PowerPoint automation often involves macros. I'd like to use Power Automate for this task. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

    I'm no expert but in my experience, unless you use a third party conversion connector like Cloudmersive's convert excel to text, the only easy way to extract data from excel is buy ensuring that the data is in an excel table. You can then retrieve the table or tables and us the row level data.
