Let's say I have columns Name and Reference in a Google Sheet with multiple pages. I want to create a presentation (or something similar) that would do the following, automatically, based on a Google Sheet (or downloaded variant):
- Create a new slide for each row in the order of appearance
- On each slide, assign Name as the title, and insert picture from Google Drive, whose filename matches Reference. (i.e. Reference is 5, picture name is 5, insert that picture)
- Optionally, only create slides for specific rows identified by Name. I.e. Name is "Truck", create slides for each row in the sheet that has Truck.
Additionally, this presentation is meant to be updated each week, so I need it to change either when the Google Sheet changes, automatically, or by importing a .xls/csv (etc.).
I'm thinking the most plausible program to work with the requirements would be Google Slides, but I could not find a function to do what I described above.
I'm open to alternative programs as well if the above is not possible in the Google Suite.
Edit: I am aware of the chart function in Slides, using a document, however this does not work to the purposes I need and have explained above. I have tried using the function, but it only works with presenting data. I need it to assign images to data automatically based on set criteria. An example would be: I import an excel / sheet, the application reads it and creates slides for only rows that have "Anthony" as the first cell, and inserts an image with the file name that matches the Reference, in this case let's say, 126178. It is a presentation that would show those pictures, not the data that is in the Google Sheet. The data would only be used to create the slides, not display what is in the Sheet. Again, this function does not have to be present in Slides itself, I am open to any suggestion of different applications that would serve the purpose.
