SlideFab version 7.1 is available now. It brings a few bug fixes to improve performance and stability.

SlideFab version 7.0 adds a small new feature which is a great leap forward for building simple Excel models: A new feature to filter pivot tables. With this it is possible to avoid VBA coding to change the pivot filter, like it was used in this old blog post for creating category trees. And this new feature also removes the need to write aggregating formulas for all those, who did not use the VBA snippet in the first place.

This means that it is much simpler to mass produce PowerPoint slides based with Excel charts, when these charts are Excel pivot table charts, which automatically change when the filtering is changed.

SlideFab version 3.1 is available now. It brings a few bug fixes to improve performance and stability.

2. The newly introduced Excel Charts Export Mode from version 2.0 got an upgrade. It is about series sorting and elimination of empty entries.
3. A more sophisticated error checking during Slide Making gives feedback if something went wrong.

And last but not least, this new version incorporates a couple of bug fixes.

and a few things more.

Apart from these novelties the versioning was improved to distinguish the kind of update: For feature updates like this one, the major number left of the dot increases. For smaller updates and bugfixes the minor number counts. Accordingly, this version is not 1.12 but 2.0.

This new version is available at the download page. Already installed SlideFab updates automatically.

SlideFab v1.11 is available now. It brings a bug fixes to improve performance and stability.

So far, it was required to use the Make Slides window within SlideFab to automatically create the PowerPoint slides based on Excel. This works fine. But for a deeper integration of SlideFab into your own applications some API functionality was missing… until now. The slide mass creation can be invoked through the SlideFab API using a few lines of code. It is pretty simple to use and offers a whole new world of opportunities for all those who enjoy coding VBA.

SlideFab v1.8 is available now. It brings a couple of logical improvements to the Slide Loops feature. This feature can be used as an alternative or an enrichment to the overall iteration when creating multiple copies of a given slide. Of course, this new version is also available as all free SlideFab LITE edition.

SlideFab v1.7 brings not many updates but for fans of think-cell a significant one: When a PowerPoint template slide contains one or more Excel-linked think-cell charts, SlideFab will allow the chart update and break the Excel links for the output slides. In this way the output slides will contain real think-cell charts (not just mere screenshots or so) which can be fine-tuned or altered when required. Further information about how this works can be found in the documentation.

SlideFab v1.6 is available now. It brings a couple of minor bug fixes and improvements . Of course, this version is also available as all free SlideFab LITE edition.

Of course, this feature is also supported in the all free SlideFab LITE edition.
