    Hi Nagin,

    There's currently no way to programmatically export visuals from a report, but have you considered using the functionality to add a live report page to PowerPoint?

    Once you have added your report, it's possible to freeze the output as a static image if you need it to remain fixed for any annotations or additional contextual info in PowerPoint.

    Similarly you can turn it back to the live view and get the latest information as and when you need for subsequent reports (and then just freeze it again when ready).

    Regards,

    Daniel
