The new component will ask us for the URL that we just copied, and after pasting it there the report will load into the component. Then, from the Insert tab, add it to a slide from the document. Please note that there is another popular add-in called Power BI Tiles, and that’s not what we’re looking for in our example. To install it in the desktop version of PowerPoint, go to Insert -> Get Add-ins and then, in the pop-up window, search for Power BI. To use this feature, you need to have the Microsoft Power BI add-in in PowerPoint. Note that the URL only links to that page, so in our example, if we want to export the second page, we need to display it before exporting it, and the link will be different: This will open a new window with a URL that links to that page of the report. Starting from this page, the only thing we need to do is go to Export -> PowerPoint -> Embed live data. It’s a two-page report, containing charts with scroll bars, custom visuals, filters, navigation buttons and tooltips (both default and custom): We are now in a Power BI workspace, looking at a report that we want to share in PowerPoint.
Users can now interact with the Power BI report from within the PowerPoint presentation. The idea is not to copy an image of the report into PowerPoint, but to link the slide to the report. Now, however, there is another option: you can embed live data into your presentation.
The result wasn’t too good, not even with a simple report. Charts and big tables that were too big to fit on a page were cut off, just as they were in the report, but the scroll bar, although displayed in the PowerPoint, was not actionable. Until now this was not a smooth option, since exporting the Power BI report as a PowerPoint document only created images of the report, like screenshots. The solution is to embed the Power BI report into the PowerPoint presentation. Let’s imagine that we have a Power BI report, some PowerPoint slides to complement the data shown in the report, and that we want to use both in a presentation without having to jump between the two applications.
