OfficeReports Link

It is a fact that data presented in a PowerPoint presentation often is manually copied from an Excel workbook. To make presenting data in PowerPoint faster, more accurate and updatable, OfficeReports now introduces a new tool for turning Excel data into PowerPoint infographics. Our new 'Link' product links Excel ranges to tables, charts and shapes in PowerPoint, and is useful for ad-hoc reporting, tracking studies, BI reporting and mass generation of reports. In comparison to our competitors, we add some unique functionality:

• Link Excel data to PowerPoint shapes
• The Excel ranges can have a variable number of rows and/or columns
• Link the background colors from Excel, even from 'conditional formatting'
• Link specific texts in Excel as logos in PowerPoint (tables, charts and shapes)
• Link specific background colors as icons in PowerPoint (tables, charts and shapes)
• Specific texts from Excel can be visualized in specific colors in PowerPoint ('Sticky Colors')
• Macro Integration

 Let's have a closer look at it. OfficeReports adds the 'OfficeReports Link' menu to PowerPoint:

See how easy it is to accomplish this. Have a look at the short video, and read a few posts in our blog.
