Examples

The following examples shows how to add table in PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
// Instantiate Presentation class that represents PPTX file
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation()){
	// Access first slide
	ISlide sld = pres.Slides[0];
	// Define columns with widths and rows with heights
	double[] dblCols = { 50, 50, 50 };
	double[] dblRows = { 50, 30, 30, 30, 30 };
	// Add table shape to slide
	ITable tbl = sld.Shapes.AddTable(100, 50, dblCols, dblRows);
	// Set border format for each cell
	for (int row = 0; row < tbl.Rows.Count; row++)
	{
		for (int cell = 0; cell < tbl.Rows[row].Count; cell++)
		{
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderTop.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderTop.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Red;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderTop.Width = 5;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderBottom.FillFormat.FillType = (FillType.Solid);
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderBottom.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color= Color.Red;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderBottom.Width =5;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderLeft.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderLeft.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color =Color.Red;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderLeft.Width = 5;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderRight.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Solid;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderRight.FillFormat.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Red;
			tbl.Rows[row][cell].CellFormat.BorderRight.Width = 5;
		}
	}
	// Merge cells 1 & 2 of row 1
	tbl.MergeCells(tbl.Rows[0][0], tbl.Rows[1][1], false);
	// Add text to the merged cell
	tbl.Rows[0][0].TextFrame.Text = "Merged Cells";
	// Save PPTX to Disk
	pres.Save("table.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
