As part of a contract, the team I work in has to produce a monthly powerpoint filled with KPI's and other requested values, which is then passed on to another team who write a commentary on last months performance. At the moment the values are created (mostly in SAS) exported to an excel file and then copy and pasted into a powerpoint. This is an old approach which clearly needs updating.
What I would ideally like to do is to automate the presentation using RMarkdown and save myself the hassle of copy and pasting values. The issue is that RMarkdown from what I can see can't produce a .ppt file, or another editable format that the commentary team could add to without having to use R.
From googling around the topic I found packages such as rcom, RDCOMclient, and R2PPT but they don't appear to have been recently updated or maintained.
TLDR; Need a way of making a powerpoint/slideshow in R where the text can be edited afterwards outside of R.
