Create slides from Excel or database table

[Guest]

I've been asked to convert a spreadsheet into a PPT presentation dynamically.
Each row of data in the spreadsheet should be imported into a slide template
I’ll make. The end result is that the number of rows of data will equal the
number of dynamically created slides.

If it is easier to bring from SQL server, I’ll happily dump the info into a
table. Are there any third party tools that can help with this? Do I need
to jump into VBA? Or is there some other method?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Do you simply need a fast way to, in effect, merge your data into your slide(s)?

If so, see http://merge.pptools.com

If you need a solution that updates the presentation while it's running, have a
