Using python pptx Presentation() function with Power BI

majudd — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 20:10:53 GMT

Is there a function within the python pptx library to recognize a Power BI page in a PPT and modify it? prs.slides.shapes is not recognizing the Power BI insert as a shape.

In particular, I am looking to write a python script that reads in a PPT, recognizes the Power BI Add-in, changes it's setting from "Live data" to "Public Screenshot", and then writes it out with a new file name.

Hi @majudd ,

Python has a library, PBIXRay designed to parse and analyze PBIX files, which are used with Microsoft Power BI.
You can learn more about it here.

For the help regarding writing a python code, you can reach out on Python forum

Hope this helps!
