Hi,

is it possible to write a code to Excel VBA that saves a PowerPoint presentation to SharePoint with a dynamic name (changes according to a specific cell value) and overwrites the existing file, if there is one? This is my code now, and it doesn't work.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Dim path, newfname, frmt As String
path = "https:\\docs.webpage.com\sites\sales" '<-- the folder
newfname = wsdata.Range("L3") '<-- cell that the file name comes from
frmt = VBA.Right(ppt_pres.Name, 4) '<-- i think this is the fileformat pptx

If newfname <> False Then

If Not Dir(newfname) <> "" Then
ppt_pres.SaveAs Filename:=newfname
Else
On Error Resume Next

If Err.Number = 1004 Then
On Error GoTo 0
Else
ppt_pres.SaveAs Filename:=mypath & newfname & frmt & ".pptx", _
FileFormat:=ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation, _

End If
End If
End If

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
should suppress the warning.

Perhaps use
Code:
On Error Resume Next
KILL mypath & newfname & frmt & ".pptx"
On Error GoTo 0
just prior to the save statement
