How to sum figures in a Powerpoint 2003 table?

[M baiomy]

Please your support, are there any features similar to these in Word 2003 to
calculate the figures in a table that exist in Powerpoint 2003?

Regards.

M baiomy,
No such thing in PPT. Maybe try paste/linking a Word/Excel table.

Not within a table, but if you use text box controls from the Control
Toolbox, it can be done using VBA. I have an example on my FAQ page at:

Thanks alot Bill, I have tried this way and found it useful, however this
will imperatively be helpful in simple calculations with few figures to
calulate. i think there should be another way to calulate a huge number of
raws .. don't you agree !

Appreciate your support.

Regards.

I agree, but PowerPoint wasn't designed to do calculations, merely to show
data/information. You could always insert an Excel or Word Object on your
slide and do the calculations either on the spreadsheet or table, depending
on which object you insert.
