I am looking to hire a python developer to show me how to do the below. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find a developer to hire and whether this is even possible?
Thanks!
Needs:
- I’d like to have python create charts based on data held in sql tables - so data would be imported from SQL to python - this should be relatively easy
- once the charts are made in python, I want to have python automatically paste the graphs/charts into a PowerPoint file. I assume that this will be the tricky part. Just pasting charts into a new PowerPoint is not enough - the script or process needs to paste the charts into a specific PowerPoint file that already exists which contains logos and other corporate template characteristics. Also, since this process needs to be repeated with regular frequency, say monthly, the python process will need to first delete the charts that are in the file (from the previous run) and then paste in the refreshed or new charts into the slides. Lastly, the python script needs to be able to size the graphs and paste them into specific locations on the PowerPoint slide since some slides might show one large chart (which would be large and centered on the slide) whereas other slides might show 4 smaller charts).
Thanks!

Hi Brian, this is definitely possible. There is a python library https://python-pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html specifically for this purpose. I have not used the library myself, but I would imagine this would be a relatively simple application to create. I am not sure however how you would go about hiring a dev.02/21/22
