Formatting a PowerBI object Embedded inside a PowerPoint Slide

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a PowerPoint report that one section on a slide needs to have an embedded PBI which is just a short list of projects. However, because this PBI is occupying one-third and not the entire slide, I had to shrink the size of the PBI and now it sits in the middle of the page (as opposed to left aligned, for example). Also, if I want to enlarge the words but not the PBI object itself, I can't. In other words, if I resize it larger (so the words are legible), then the PBI object takes over the entire slide; and if I resize it smaller just enough so that it doesn't take up the entire slide (and only the section it is supposed to occupy), then the data table appears in the CENTER of that section. In short, can a PBI object embedded inside a PowerPoint report be FORMATTED?
I attach a screenshot of the PowerPoint slide to show you exactly what I mean (the part inside black box is the embedded PBI). Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can export to PowerPoint>>Embed live data.

Then open the PowerPoint and edit the format.

Once the report has loaded, it is live and you can select the data as desired. Any changes you make while editing the presentation will be saved. The next time you open the presentation, the report will appear in the state you last left it in.

Add a live Power BI report page to PowerPoint - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I'm unable to export to PowerPoint due to security settings in our environment.  I have to start in PowerPoint and launch the Add-in.  I don't see any option for "Embed live data".   Is there a way I can resize the contents of the frame along with resizing the frame?
