Generating Report using Multiple Data Sources in Presentation Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a report. This report will fetch data from multiple data sources.

Note

The code uses some of the objects defined in The Business Layer.

1. Add a new slide
2. Add a bullet list at the place where you want it
3. Save your Document

As a report developer, you are required to generate a report that fetches data from two different data sources (e:g XML, JSON). Report must show following information:

• Customer name
• List of products

Warning

There is no way to use an image inside a foreach tag in Microsoft PowerPoint.

NOTE: There is no way to use images inside a foreach tag in PowerPoint.

«foreach [in customers]»«[CustomerName]»

«/foreach>>

We provide support for the following products:
<<foreach [in products]>><<[ProductName]>>
<</foreach>>

OpenDocument Text (ODT) is a word processing document format which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Word Document (DOC/DOCX) formats. Since ODT is not a Microsoft Proprietary format, there are multiple software (including Microsoft Office and Apache OpenOffice) available to create, open, edit and save this format. For more information on the available software to work with ODT, please visit wikipedia article.

In this topic, we’ll not reinvent the wheel to recreate a template for generating a report in ODT format. Instead, we’ll save the existing template to ODT format using Microsoft Office. In order to achieve this; assuming you are using Microsoft Office 2010, please follow below steps:

1. Open existing template we created in previous topic.
2. Click “File” and select “Save As”.
3. Select “OpenDocument Text” from “Save As Type” drop down.
4. Click “Save”.
