Auto Refresh Powerbi data in Powerpoint
Hi Atinder - What make you think that the data is not being refreshed? Are you using the new Power BI PowerPoint feature (Add a live Power BI report page to PowerPoint - Power BI | Microsoft Docs). Since you are embedding an Live tile in PowerPoint, it will be refreshed when the PowerPoint is opened with the new data and with any changes made to the report page. If the page in PowerPoint is not refreshing there is button in PowerPoint to refresh the report. View and present live Power BI report pages in PowerPoint - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
It does that but everytime I have opena nd close. I have 22 slides in the powerpoint but I can't do slide show it just stuck at slide one and white out.
Hi Atinder - if you have a Power BI Report which contains 22 pages and you want to include each page in the PowerPoint presentation, you need to embed the link for each page separately. Embed Power BI in PowerPoint interactive - YouTube
Note Microsoft did not included a page navigator in their new add-in (suggest this at PowerBI Ideas). I suspect they did this because they did not antipate you using PowerPoint to present too many pages (death by PowerPoint? or just share the Power BI report or share as PDF).
If you prefer to insert one slide and then navigate within this single slide, you can consider adding a Page Navigator (Create page and bookmark navigators - Power BI | Microsoft Docs) to each page in the Power BI report, or a next and back buttons to each.
Hi Anonymous I embed link for each page but as soon as I hit slide after 1 slide Powerpoint crash or whiteout.
Hey Atinder ,
We made some improvements in PowerPoint to handle crashes. Can you please verify that you are running the most recent Office version?
If it keeps crashing, can you please contact us at [email protected] for additional investigation?
Thanks, Maya
I need to run this presentation in loop forever with 6-10 slides with a power BI report on each slide. Not to restart the presentation. Autorefresh will be good. Manual refresh... doesn't realy help.
Now it is possible to autorefresh the data. It is still crashing some time but it is an improvement.
