[QUOTE="omarko, post: 1930447, member: 418016"] I have a Keynote file that has multiple Charts on multiple slides. I'm seeking a way to update the Chart data in an automated way (AppleScript perhaps)? I found some AppleScript examples online, but they don't seem to work in the current version of AppleScript. Is anyone aware of a method for accomplishing this today? Here's an example: [INDENT]tell application "Keynote"[/INDENT] [INDENT] set theCSVFile to choose file with prompt "Select the CSV file containing the chart data:"[/INDENT] [INDENT] set theChartData to paragraphs of (read theCSVFile)[/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT] -- get the chart on the second slide[/INDENT] [INDENT] set theSecondSlide to slide 2 of front document[/INDENT] [INDENT] set theChart to chart 1 of theSecondSlide[/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT] -- update the chart data[/INDENT] [INDENT] set the data of theChart to theChartData[/INDENT] [INDENT]end tell[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
