Placeholder Syntax
- Text Values: Use double curly braces for text placeholders. Example:
{{name}}
, {{company}}
, {{title}}
- Image URLs: Use the prefix
img:
followed by the placeholder name for image URLs. Example: img:profile_picture
, img:company_logo
.
You must add sample image (it will be replaced with the one under the provided URL) and type the placeholder name into the contents of "Alt text". This can be achieved by right-clicking the image and selecting "Show alt text" from the menu.
NEW FEATURE
You can now embed images in your Excel file. Here are the 3 simple steps to use images embeded in Excel in resulting PowerPoint presentation:
- Insert image (or images) alongside your data (wherever in the worksheet).
- Edit 'Alt text" field for the image(s) and type in a handle (e.g. projectStatusOK, projectStatusWarn, projectStatusNOK).
- Use that handle in the image column (assume you called the column
img:projectStatus
) instead of image URL and our service will know, that it should look for the image inside of the provided data (Excel) file.
