I'm having an issue when trying to copy a range from Excel and paste into Powerpoint using VBA.
I receive the following error: Run-time error (80048240) Shapes (unknown member): Invalid request. Clipboard is empty or contains data which may not be pasted here.
Run-time error (80048240) Shapes (unknown member): Invalid request. Clipboard is empty or contains data which may not be pasted here.
The error is thrown in the following code using Excel 2010 and Powerpoint 2010:
ws.Range("A1:Y" & lastRow).Copy
pApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide 2
pApp.ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Activate
With .Slides(2).Shapes
.PasteSpecial (ppPasteHTML) `<~~~ Error occurs here!`
End With
This only occurs when using the ppPasteHTML
option or the ppPasteDefault
option.
The clipboard is definitely not empty and I can manually paste the range as HTML using the paste special menu option in Powerpoint which is confusing me as this is what the error indicates the issue is.
I've researched several question, none of which have helped. They indicated that I needed to activate the slide first prior to pasting which the above code will do but the error is thrown.
Can anyone suggest the reason for the error and how to resolve the issue?
I still haven't manged to solve the issue but as a work around, I'm using the following mso command:
ws.Range("A1:Y" & lastRow).Copy
pApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide 2
pApp.ActiveWindow.Panes(1).Activate
pApp.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("Paste") '<~~ Pastes as default HTML table`
Try this (from the PowerPoint side):
Set sld = Application.ActiveWindow.View.Slide
ws.Range("A1:Y" & lastRow).Copy
sld.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=ppPasteHTML
