[Anonymous]

Hi,  I have been asked to produce the reports ive made in powerbi into a booklet to hand out at sales meetings.

I was wondering if there functionality to do this built into PowerBI.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous, I do not think so that there is some functionality like you described. When I had to make "booklet" for reports I made in PBI I just screenshoted reports/dashboard and created .pptx or .docx documents and described the solution.

Or I created special page in PBI where I had only text documentation via Text box functionality.

If there was special functionality, it would be great.

A few things to keep in mind / consider:

1. Export to PowerPoint is coming soon (recently on twitter - this would be connected to a live report/dashboard which would allow the ability to refresh the deck easily):

         

2. If publishing to web (public accessible) is ok, see this link - in particular the Sway integration:  http://www.jenunderwood.com/2016/02/03/public-data-storytelling/

3. If you do not want to wait for the Export to PowerPoint option, there is an existing PowerPoint add in for Power BI dashboard tiles or paid version w/ more capabilities:  http://www.devscope.net/Products.aspx

Hi @PowerDAX. I do not see the Embed in SharePoint option and Export to PowerPoint (Preview) in my Power BI Service. How is it possible, that you have this options? 

And what about this greyed out Download report option? This would be also very helpful. 

I am also interested what are these two functions below on the pic:

Thanks in advance.

Pavel - all of those functions are coming - i.e. not yet available.  They look to be in beta testing which means they should be released anywhere from 1 week to next couple of months.

I am not a part of the beta testing so I cannot answer to the functionality of the buttons or timeline.

I viewed this image on twitter from someone who is a part of the beta testing or is a Microsoft employee.

Thanks hopefully will have a print option would be great to pull it out for meetings etc.  Supporting both print and digital.
