Turning PowerPoint slides into custom visualizations.

Hi Qiuyun Yu,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, Power BI supports custom visuals - that's the whole basis of what I proposed. Currently, to create a custom visual one must be a software engineer. What I am proposing to build is an add-on to PowerPoint that will allow anyone to create a custom visual by doing so within PowerPoint. The rules they specify for how shapes should bind to data would auto-generate the Format Pane. Do you understand now?

If anyone in the Power BI community here has a PowerPoint slide that they are interested in turning into a custom visual, feel free to contact me. I am looking for some test cases.

Hi intrasight,

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

As far as I know, we are not able to turn Power Point slider to custom visual and import it into Power BI desktop currently.

 

Best Regards,
