Basically,
if I ran (after discovering what the object name I was trying to modify in
the ppt slide was):
if WB.Slides(29).Shapes("Object 2").Type==7:
PWB = WB.Slides(29).Shapes("Object 2") #Select
the Graph Object
oGraph = PWB.OLEFormat.Object
oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range("00").Value = "Fav"
this code worked.
When I ran this:
for shape in WB.Slides(29).Shapes:
if (shape.Type== 7):
print shape.Name
PWB = WB.Slides(29).Shapes(shape)
oGraph = PWB.OLEFormat.Object
oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range("00").Value = "Fav"
I got an error.
I tried "print shape" I received
<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft PowerPoint 11.0 Object Library.Shape instance at
0x17793112>
Putting in PWB = WB.Slides(29).Shapes(shape.Name) instead of PWB =
WB.Slides(29).Shapes(shape)
allowed this to work.
Also, I discovered I was working with a MSGraph object and not an Excel
spreadsheet object.
for shape in WB.Slides(29).Shapes:
if (shape.Type== 7):
print shape.Name
PWB = WB.Slides(29).Shapes(shape.Name)
oGraph = PWB.OLEFormat.Object
oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range("00").Value = "Fav"
