Error when pasting slide: The specified data type is unavailable

Question

I am getting following error while pasting a slide in PowerPoint in the following line:

PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.PasteSpecial ppPasteOLEObject, msoFalse

Run-time error -2147188160 (80048240):View (unknown member) : Invalid request. The specified data type is Unavailable

I have run this code multiple times and it was running fine before.

Also, once the object/chart is copying; I am switching to PowerPoint to see if I can paste. I can paste with all the options (As picture, As Embedded Image, etc.).

Here is the full code till I am getting error as it was not coming in comment section

Further to my comments above, this works for me. Let's say your sheet1 looks like this

Paste this code in a module.

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim PPApp           As PowerPoint.Application
    Dim PPPres          As PowerPoint.Presentation
    Dim PPSlide         As PowerPoint.Slide
    Dim SlideCount      As Long

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rng As Range

    Dim Filename As String

    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")

    Set rng = ws.Range("A1:K7")

    Set PPApp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
    PPApp.Visible = msoTrue
    'opening an existing presentation
    Filename = "C:\Presentation1.pptx"
    Set PPPres = PPApp.Presentations.Open(Filename)

    SlideCount = PPPres.Slides.count

    Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutTitleOnly)

    With PPSlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange
        .Text = "Practice Financials - " & _
                ws.Range("AH1").Value & "  "

        With .Characters.Font
            .Size = 24
            .Name = "Arial Heading"
        End With
    End With

    rng.Copy
    DoEvents

    PPSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial DataType:=ppPasteOLEObject, Link:=msoFalse
End Sub
