(VBA) error adding Title and Subtitle to PowerPoint Slide

[Dimitris254]

Hi all,

i have a 2-3 cells in an Excel sheet, which i read as title and subtitle values for a Powerpoint slide.

The title is written without problem, but i get error for the subtitle.

Run-time error:

Placeholders.Item : Integer out of range. 2 is not in Index's valid range of 1 to 1

my code:

PP_Slide.Shapes.Placeholders.Item(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "Test Title " & current_year

PP_Slide.Shapes.Placeholders.Item(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = mySheet.Cells(5, "A").Value
same error either with .Placeholders(2) or .Placeholders.Item(2).

what goole gives is:

.Shapes(2)

i've seen that, yes, but what do you mean by .Shapes(2) ?

also, do mind that the slide already includes a shape (an image)
