Default Powerpoint show specific data based on selection

I maintain a very large presenter (300+ slides) for some sales guys who work on the road, they use this a lot but chop and change data frequently depending on who they are presenting to.



Recently, I've had to make regular changes to show some data in pound sterling and other data in Euro.
This is a real pain as it means if I change something on the pound presenter, I then have to go change it on the Euro one. If I make a lot of small changes it's difficult to remember all of them unless I write them all down which becomes time consuming.

In an ideal world, I'd like to create one presenter that would prompt you or give you a selection to select the pound or euro data then when presenting, shows the relevant one you selected.

Sadly we cannot present the pound data to the euro customers and the euro data to the pound customers so can't just put both sets of data on the presenter.

Any thoughts? I'm not very skilled with VB but could attempt to learn something if it was possible.

Sorry I can't help with VB coding to do this but you can always set up a Custom Slide Show and have one custom show within the file setup to show the "pound" slides and another to show the "euro" slides and then the presenter just needs to select which "show" they are presenting before they begin.

Go to the Slide Show tab and choose Custom Slide Show. Then create NEW and include all the slides related to the first currency. Repeat the process and create another NEW show to include slides related to the second currency. You can then move between the two all within the one PPT file.

Let me know if you require further assistance.
