MATLAB: Undefined function ‘Presentation’ for input arguments of type ‘char’ – while converting GUI to .exe

Question

Hello, I have a code that uses a powerpoint template to create a new presentation using the default Presentation function by importing mlreportgen package in MATLAB. While normally the code executes as a .m file, on compiling it into an application (.exe) (using deploytool) and running the application I get the following error : " Undefined function 'Presentation' for input arguments of type 'char' ". I have added the templates and all the required functions while building the application. Can someone please help

To be compilable, the first line of your PowerPoint code must be:

makePPTCompilable();

See Compile a Presentation Program in the PowerPoint API documentation for more information.
