Add an empty table to a PowerPoint slide

Use jetformat ppt add-table to add an empty table to a PowerPoint slide.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PPTX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat ppt add-table board-deck.pptx --page 1 -o board-deck-updated.pptx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output PPTX path (required)
--page 1-based slide number (default 1)

Check the result

Inspect the output table count and render the slide to check placement before adding or presenting data.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat ppt add-table --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
