Issue using Power BI tile in PowerPoint

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have an issue using Power BI Tile in PowerPoint (or even Excel).

The Add-ins is shown under Insert\My Add-ins

but when I add it, a message appears saying: This Add-in could not be started. Close the dialog to ignore the problem or click "Restart" to try again.

Please note that when I insert the add-ins in PowerPoint Online; it works seamlessly with no issue. I tried to open the file which has been created in PowerPoint Online with Desktop PowerPoint and the same problem exist.

Any idea for resolving this much appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous,

>>: This Add-in could not be started. Close the dialog to ignore the problem or click "Restart" to try again.

The add-in which you install on online only available on powerpoint online. If you want to use the created file local, you need to install this add-in on local office application.

Hi @Anonymous,

You can refer to below article to install the power bi add in:

Integrating Power BI Tiles into Office documents

It works on my side.

In addition, you can also check the add-in setting in powerpoint to ensure it has been enabled.
