Very helpful video, Thanks! One quick question, Is it mandatory to open excel file and ppt file to get sync? Is it possible to sync ppt without opening the excel file ? I meant some hacks or api for that? Looking for end to end automation without human touch :)

[@DanGalletta]

Glad it helped! Unfortunately I believe you need both the PowerPoint and Excel files open at the same time to sync the charts and data. I'm not aware of any hacks or APIs...

Hello Slide Science, I changed the name of the excell file and lost the links to the graphics, there is a way to recover for all, there are many graphics.

[@DanGalletta]

Hi Gildo, you should be able to rename the Excel file and the data link will continue to work. Can you confirm that the charts are set to update automatically (or you've clicked the button to manually update them)? Cheers, Dan

Thanks a lot Dan, very useful video! I do have one question. Usually when I build models in excel I create a tab fully dedicated to the think-cell back-up linked to the model, and this tab is linked to ppt. Of course I save more versions of the model while working on it (v1, v2, etc). How can I make sure that the ppt is linked to the latest version of the excel (e.g. linked to the file named v3 and not to the old file v1)? thanks a lot for your support

Thank you Diogo!

Great video thanks! Quick question how did you format the numbers to show $ and m. I am a new user and can’t figure it out

[@DanGalletta]

Thanks Hilal! Just click on one of the labels and in the text box that pops up you can replace the format by typing "$1.0m" (or whatever format you want). If you're still stuck, reply to this comment and I'll record a quick video to show you

How can I insert and leave it visible the Think-Cell menu? Thanks

[@DanGalletta]

Sorry Leonel, not sure what you mean. Can you describe your issue a little further please? 🙂

@@DanGalletta Hi. I discovered that I did not have the Think-Cell menu activated, then I learned that I needed to request the installation of it to my IS dept. I thought that It an excel or Power Point standard menu but it is not

[@DanGalletta]

@@MrIbarrableonel Ah yes, I understand. If you end up getting think-cell and have any questions, just let me know!
