How to Connect SAP Leonardo to Microsoft PowerPoint: a Simple Guide

 

Prerequisites

 

  • Ensure you have valid SAP Leonardo and Microsoft Office accounts.
  •  

  • Have the necessary permissions to access data within SAP Leonardo and a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 or later.
  •  

  • Install the SAP Leonardo SDK if applicable for API access and integration plugins.

 

Set Up SAP Leonardo API Access

 

  • Log in to SAP Cloud Platform and navigate to the SAP Leonardo services.
  •  

  • Generate an API key by selecting the appropriate service and access settings. Keep this key secure as it will be necessary for integration.
  •  

  • Review SAP’s documentation for authentication methods, supporting either OAuth 2.0 or API Key authentication.

 

Create PowerPoint Plugin for Integration

 

  • Open Visual Studio and start a new project for an Office Add-in for PowerPoint.
  •  

  • Use the manifest file to set up necessary permissions and load PowerPoint UI components.
  •  

  • Design a task pane UI where users can interact with SAP Leonardo data.

 

Establish Communication between SAP Leonardo and PowerPoint

 

  • In your Visual Studio project, configure HTTP client for making requests to SAP Leonardo using the API Key.
  •  

  • Use JavaScript to call SAP Leonardo APIs. Below is a simple example of making a GET request:

 

function getLeonardoData() {
    const apiKey = 'Your-SAP-Leonardo-API-Key';
    fetch('https://sandbox.api.sap.com/path/to/endpoint', {
        method: 'GET',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'APIKey': apiKey
        }
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error fetching data: ', error));
}

 

  • Adjust endpoint and handling logic according to the data you need from SAP Leonardo.

 

Integrate Data into PowerPoint

 

  • Within the task pane, provide options for users to select the data they want to import into PowerPoint slides.
  •  

  • Using Office JavaScript API, insert the data directly into the active PowerPoint presentation. For instance, inserting text from Leonardo's response:

 

Office.onReady(() => {
    const dataToInsert = "Data from SAP Leonardo";
    
    Office.context.document.setSelectedDataAsync(dataToInsert, function (asyncResult) {
        if (asyncResult.status === Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
            console.error('Failed to insert data: ', asyncResult.error.message);
        } else {
            console.log('Data inserted successfully.');
        }
    });
});

 

Test and Deploy the Integration

 

  • Test the add-in locally: Open PowerPoint, load your add-in, try fetching SAP Leonardo data, and ensure it displays correctly on slides.
  •  

  • Fix any errors or bugs in your JavaScript or integration logic.
  •  

  • Package and deploy the Office add-in either via a shared network location, Office Add-in store, or user-specific deployments.

Troubleshooting SAP Leonardo and Microsoft PowerPoint Integration

How to integrate SAP Leonardo data into PowerPoint slides?

 

Integrating SAP Leonardo Data into PowerPoint

 

  • **Gather SAP Leonardo Data**: Use SAP Cloud Platform to extract data through OData services or APIs. Ensure that you have the necessary credentials and access rights.
  •  

  • **Data Preparation**: Cleanse and format your data using Python or any preferred ETL tool to ensure it fits PowerPoint's dataset requirements.
  •  

  • **Utilize PowerPoint's Automation API**: You can integrate data into PowerPoint using Python's `python-pptx` library for generating slides from data.

 

from pptx import Presentation

def create_ppt(data):
    prs = Presentation()
    slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[5]
    slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)
    title = slide.shapes.title
    title.text = "SAP Leonardo Data"

    for item in data:
        content = slide.placeholders[1]
        content.text += str(item) + '\n'

    prs.save('SAP_Leonardo_Data.pptx')

create_ppt(['Data Point 1', 'Data Point 2'])

 

  • **Automate Slide Updates**: Use task schedulers or a web service to regularly update your slides with the latest SAP data.
  •  

  • **Integration Tools**: Consider using integration platforms like SAP BusinessObjects or a custom-built middleware for streamlined data flow.

Why is SAP Leonardo not connecting to PowerPoint?

 

Identify Connection Requirements

 

  • Ensure that both SAP Leonardo and PowerPoint APIs are available and properly configured. Verify network settings, API keys, and permissions.

 

Check Compatibility

 

  • Confirm that the current versions of SAP Leonardo and PowerPoint are compatible. Outdated versions might lack necessary integration features.

 

Examine Code Snippets

 

  • Review the code used for integration. Ensure proper authentication and data formatting. Here’s an example of connecting via a hypothetical API in Python:

 

import sap_leonardo_sdk as sap
import powerpoint_api as ppt
  
# Authenticate with SAP Leonardo
sap_client = sap.connect(api_key='YOUR_SAP_API_KEY')

# Prepare data for PowerPoint
slide_data = sap_client.get_insights()

ppt_client = ppt.connect(api_key='YOUR_POWERPOINT_API_KEY')

# Add slide to PowerPoint
ppt_client.add_slide(data=slide_data)

 

Debug Connectivity Issues

 

  • Use logging to capture real-time error messages. This aids in pinpointing issues, whether they originate from SAP or PowerPoint.

 

How do I update PowerPoint slides automatically with SAP Leonardo data?

 

Connect SAP Leonardo to PowerPoint

 

  • Use SAP Cloud SDK to create APIs that fetch data from SAP Leonardo.
  • Ensure appropriate OAuth authentication for secure API access.

 

Automate PowerPoint Updates

 

  • Use Office Scripts in Excel to manipulate PowerPoint objects. Ensure your Excel workbook can run Power Automate.
  • Create Power Automate flow to execute the script, update your slide content, and use connectors for real-time data integration.

 

Code Example

 

// Power Automate script
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
  let sheet = workbook.getWorksheet("Data");
  let data = sheet.getUsedRange().getValues();
  let slide = PowerPointApp.activePresentation.getSlides()[0];
  slide.getShapes().getItem("DataShape").replaceText(data);
}

 

Execute and Verify

 

  • Test the Power Automate flow to ensure data accuracy in PowerPoint slides.
  • Verify that the updates reflect real-time data changes from SAP Leonardo.
