在 Excel 中按照Excel 数据链接所述提供数据后，您可以使用 UpdateChart 和 PresentationFromTemplate 函数通过编程对该数据的使用进行控制。
通过 UpdateChart，您可以对特定图表的数据表和您的数据进行交换。通过 PresentationFromTemplate，您可以根据 PowerPoint 模板，使用数据创建新的演示文稿（将 think-cell 图表链接到 Excel 中的数据范围）。
这两个函数的接口都已集成到 Office Automation 模型中，因此可以通过能对 Office 编程的任何语言（例如 Visual Basic for Applications 或 C#）进行访问。
think-cell 的入口点是 think-cell 加载项对象。可以通过 Application.COMAddIns 集合对其进行访问。调用 think-cell 始终采用后期绑定。如需说明，请参阅 Microsoft 的知识库：
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245115
因此，think-cell 加载项对象的类型只是 Object，没有要添加的类型库或引用。只需获取对象，即可进行调用：
Dim tcaddin As Object
Set tcaddin = Application.COMAddIns("thinkcell.addin").Object25.1

25.1 UpdateChart
25.1.1 签名
tcaddin.UpdateChart( _ pres As PowerPoint.Presentation, _ strName As String, _ rgData As Excel.Range, _ bTransposed As Boolean _ )
25.1.2 描述
从 Excel 调用此函数，此函数将使用 rgData 中包含的数字更新 pres 中的图表 strName。范围 rgData 必须符合 从 Excel 创建图表 中所述的布局。
请注意，演示文稿对象 pres 也可用于参考演示文稿中的幻灯片范围。有关更多信息，请参阅：
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/powerpoint-vba/articles/slide-object-powerpoint
图表名称 strName 的匹配不区分大小写。先前必须已经按照自动化简介中所述在 PowerPoint 中使用 UpdateChart 名称属性控件分配该名称。图表名称在 pres 定义的演示文稿或幻灯片范围内必须唯一。
若已将图表链接到 Excel 数据范围，则调用此函数时，链接将中断。此后，不会将图表链接到任何 Excel 范围。
25.1.3 示例
若要使用此示例，请在 Excel 的 Visual Basic for Applications 窗口中，依次前往工具和引用，然后添加 Microsoft PowerPoint 对象库。

25.2.1 签名
tcaddin.PresentationFromTemplate( _ wb As Excel.Workbook, _ strTemplate As String, _ ppapp As PowerPoint.Application _ ) As PowerPoint.Presentation
25.2.2 描述
从 Excel 中调用此函数，此函数可将 wb 中的任何数据链接应用到文件名为 strTemplate 的模板。结果是，在 PowerPoint 实例 ppapp 中产生新的演示文稿。
strTemplate 可以是完整路径，也可以是相对路径（随后会将其作为相对于 Excel 工作簿文件 wb 所在位置的相对路径）。
将更新 strTemplate 中已链接到 Excel 工作簿 wb 的所有图表（不论是否已将其设为自动更新，都是如此）。随后会中断其数据链接，以防止对这些图表进行进一步更改。
strTemplate 中已链接到除 wb 外其他 Excel 工作簿的图表将保持不变，并且仍保持链接状态，因此可以将此函数的结果另存为新模板，然后使用下一个工作簿再次调用此函数，以便更新多个 Excel 工作簿中的链接。
若您希望使用 Excel 链接控制图表段的颜色，可以将配色方案设为在顶部使用 Excel 填充（请参阅配色方案）。同样，若要使用 Excel 链接控制数字格式，请将其设为使用 Excel 格式（请参阅数字格式）。请确保先设置 Excel 中各单元格的背景色和数字格式，然后再调用 PresentationFromTemplate。
