Excel worksheet error in PowerPoint 2010

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Howdy,

I seem to be having a problem with exporting Excel worksheets (with charts) into PowerPoint 2010 using Aspose.Cells (version released in July). When you try to double click the worksheet to enter the chart, it comes up with an error "Microsoft PowerPoint can't start the application required to open this object. An error occured and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?". I tried repairring but it doesn't do anything. I have created Excel worksheets within PowerPoint 2010 and they can access worksheet no problem.

Attached is an example of the excel worksheets. The first slide is the Aspose.Cells export and the second slide is one created in PowerPoint. We have tried Powerpoint 2002, 2003 and 2007 and they open the first slide fine, it only appears to be 2010 specific.

I hope you will be able to assist with the issue.

Kind regards,

James

Hi James,

I have tried to open the shared presentation in PowerPoint 2010 and I have been successfully able to open the file with no error message. I am using the trial version version of Microsoft Office 2010, available on Microsoft site. For your kind information, I have attached the screenshot as well.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Mudassir,

The issue isn't with opening the actual file, the issue is double clicking on the Excel worksheet object on the first slide to access the datasheet. If you access the datasheet in Office 2002-2007, you are given the datasheet but in 2010, it comes up with the message I stated in my original post. The Excel worksheet in the second slide is one that was created by Powerpoint 2010, which does open so it's not a Powerpoint issue.

I hope you will be able to assist with the problem.

Regards,

James

Hi Doney,

I have worked over the issue using Aspose.Slide for .NET 6.4.0 with code snippet shared here. It seems that issue has been fixed in new release as I have not been able to observe the issue. I am hopeful, it will also be resolved on your end. If there is still an issue, kindly share the source excel file with us so that I may try adding that as Ole frame to reproduce the issue.

Many Thanks,

Hi Mudassir,
