Hi @NandhiniP,

Same as excel package, we have Microsoft.Office.Interop.Powerpoint package in vb code. So we can import and use Invoke Code activity to do the operations needed.

@balupad14, thanks for the above post. I have a issue when embedding excel charts into power point. I have installed the easy excel activity package 28.1.2 in UiPath and created the flow as you mentioned in the video. I am getting this error.

Hi ,

I think the best suggestion would be using Invoke Code.
