Google slides auto update links /tables linked from google sheet

问题

I have a Google Slides presentation that has some linked cells/table to data in Google Sheets. Currently, I have to manually click each linked cell/table to update values. I need a script for Google Slides that would auto-update / batch-update / refresh these links, so that the values/tables get auto-updated. Is that possible?

回答1:

Both yes and no.

Charts

Yes! those can be batch updated:

function onOpen() {

SlidesApp.getUi() // Or DocumentApp or FormApp.
    .createMenu('Update Charts')
    .addItem("Update now !!!!!", 'refreshCharts').addToUi();
}

function refreshCharts(){
    var gotSlides = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides();

    for (var i = 0; i < gotSlides.length; i++) {
        var slide = gotSlides[i];
        var sheetsCharts = slide.getSheetsCharts();

        for (var k = 0; k < sheetsCharts.length; k++) {
            var shChart = sheetsCharts[k];
            shChart.refresh();
        }
    }
}

Has anyone gotten this to work?

function refreshCharts(){
var gotSlides = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides();

for (var i = 0; i < gotSlides.length; i++) {
    var slide = gotSlides[i];
    var sheetsCharts = slide.getSheetsCharts();

    for (var k = 0; k < sheetsCharts.length; k++) {
        var shChart = sheetsCharts[k];
        shChart.refresh();
    }
}
}

I just get this error message " Unable to refresh chart. Please verify that the chart is a valid chart in Google Sheets."
