CSV to POTM conversion is the process of transforming comma-separated values (CSV) data files into POTM (PowerPoint Open XML Template Macro-Enabled) files so that structured tabular data can be embedded into a macro-enabled PowerPoint template. This conversion typically maps CSV rows and columns into slides, tables, or charts inside a .potm template, preserving data structure while enabling presentation automation via PowerPoint macros.
