Scans through an Excel file (default: Insights.xlsx), looking in particular columns for keywords and sentiment, as well as for other data such as type of briefing (partner, customer, etc), location of briefing, and so on. Compiles the results into graphics which it writes out into a Powerpoint file (name is based on the month for which we are doing the analysis).

Uses as an input template the file GCA_Customer_Insights_Month_Year.pptx

Uses as a source for more sophisticated parameter options the file excel_to_ppt.ini

Key parameters can be put on the command line. So to run in verbose mode, for month 8 for 2018, you would use: python excel_to_ppt.py -m8 -y2018 -v

This would yield GCA_Customer_Insights_August-2018.pptx
