export power BI desktop reports to power point without publishing to the web

Hello,


I work in a big insurance company and due to security reasons we can't upload anything to the cloud / the power BI web services.

 

However we love and use the Power Bi desktop to create beautiful internal reports.

 

Is there a way to export reports directly from the power bi desktop to power point (without publishing the report to the web)?
Is there any plans to do that in the future?
This is a must have feature for all the analysts in my team and will love to have your support on that.

 

 a 1000 thanks in advance.

Hi @liorm

 

If you can't use the PBI Service, then the only option with you is to take screenshots and integrate the individual screenshots in your Powerpoint. PBI service offers the same functionality and there is not interactivity in the imported powerpoint like PBI Desktop report.

 

You can also contribute your idea to HERE.

Thanks & Regards,

New to PBI but I have the same issue.

 

A possible solution: Print the dashboard to .pdf (I use CutePdf) and use Acrobat conversion utility to convert .pdf to Word or .ppt file. If Word you can cut and paste chart into .ppt.
