Hi there,

I have combed many of the answers that beat around this, even on other forums, but none seem to work for me. I am very much a novice or less with VBA and trying to make this work as saves an enormous amount of time. My issue is that the slides have varying positions and even that aside, I still haven't been able to get the slide to properly position the charts:

Sheet 13 needs special position of 1.14 x 1.4
All other Slide Position 0.92 x 1.32
GraphSize 5.26, 8.6 with position 3.82 and 1.36

My current VBA code is below but does not yet even touch upon the sizing for the Graphs or Sheet 13. Any help here is VERY much appreciated as I have been touching on this on and off for years with no success and been manually moving... Code is below. Thank you so much for the help if any!
VBA Code:
Sub PasteMultipleSlides()

'PURPOSE: Data Transfer from Excel to PPT

Dim myPresentation As Object
Dim mySlide As Object
Dim PowerPointApp As Object
Dim shp As Object
Dim MySlideArray As Variant
Dim MyRangeArray As Variant
Dim x As Long
Dim PPApp  As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide

'Create an Instance of PowerPoint
  On Error Resume Next
    
    'Is PowerPoint already opened?
      Set PowerPointApp = GetObject(class:="PowerPoint.Application")
    
    'Clear the error between errors
      Err.Clear

    'If PowerPoint is not already open then Exit
      If PowerPointApp Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "PowerPoint Presentation is not open, aborting."
        Exit Sub
      End If
    
    'Handle if the PowerPoint Application is not found
