Question : edit excel object embedded in PowerPoint via PowerPoint macro

Hello Experts,

I have a Powerpoint macro that passes through every selected object on a slide to perform a "replace" procedure on text boxes, on data grids in graphs and on word art objects.

Now, I have to perform the same type of function on an embedded Excel object. Given this macro is in Powerpoint, it complicates this a bit for me and I can't quite figure out what to do.

What kind of object definition do I need to do to be able to perform the equivalent of:
1. double click on the excel object to "activate it"
2. then perform the equivalent of "ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select"
3. then go over every cell between "A1" and "xlLastCell" to perform a replace function and do validation tests.

I have attached the code I currently am using, the code I am trying to created will be placed in between the two rows of "'*********************************************"

Thanks for your help!

Answer : edit excel object embedded in PowerPoint via PowerPoint macro

The above code has been modified to find the last column and last row in the excel sheet. But I could not find the defination for below variable/object within the code you have provided.

FrmTagRepl

Rest of the code is provided below:

6:

8:
9:
10:
11:
12:

Code to find last column and last row:
MaxRows = oSh.OLEFormat.Object.Sheets(1).Cells(oSh.OLEFormat.Object.Sheets(1).Cells.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
MaxColumns = oSh.OLEFormat.Object.Sheets(1).Cells(1, oSh.OLEFormat.Object.Sheets(1).Cells.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
LastCellAddress = oSh.OLEFormat.Object.Sheets(1).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Address

'*************************************************
'* Code to replace values on Embeded excel Sheet *  
'*************************************************
Dim TrgetRange As Excel.Range

Dim TrgetRange As Excel.Range
Set TrgetRange = oSh.OLEFormat.Object.Sheets(1).Range("A1:" & LastCellAddress)

For Each Cell In TrgetRange
    Cell.Value = "The value you want to replace with!"
Next
