How to download Power Point slide from a Power BI Report page

Hello All,

 

I'm in trouble with this topic. I did a Power BI Report, built in power BI desktop and published in Power BI Service for the users that can't download it. Now I need to add a page to the report to allow them to download a PPT file that I created with some training information for using the report. 

 

So I need to link an existing PPT file to a Power BI Report page, but not using a URL link navigation. Is it possible? Put directly the file and give the opportunity to download it to the users?

 

Really Thanks

Hi, @marcocapo 

 

As far as I know, you can't embed a file directly into a PBIX file, but you can store a hyperlink in PBIX to redirect to the file you want to embed. If you have a lot of files, you can create a table of hyperlinks, or if you have very few links, you can create a text box with instructions to hide the link in the text box, or use shapes to set the link.

@marcocapo , Power bi Service user can download pbix and ppt, but that is control using tenant setting

 

Under three dots on right -> Setting -> Admin portal-> Tenant settings -> export Setting

@amitchandak, thanks for your answer. I tried to do it, but doesnìt appear the tenant settings, maybe because I'm not the administrator of the workspace? However, maybe I didn't explain in the right way my need.

 

I create a Power Point file, with some usage instruction of the Power BI report, now I need to put on the Power BI Report this PPT file. So I don't want that the users export the Power BI data in Power Point, I want that an existing PPT is put in the Power BI report page, in order to click on it e download this already existing PPT, is it possible?

 

Thanks for you availability,
