I also want to be able to display a rolling Powerpoint presentation on TV screens which will loop in the office and show the KPI data for the business, unfortunately once you set it rolling on a continous loop it no longer updates the data which is being refreshed on Power BI, so not much use for presenting latest data on screens.

 

Anyone any other ideas on what can be used for presenting multiple reports on a screen? I have tried using Dashboard Rotator without success as well.

Hey pay_2019 , Atinder , mohammadyousaf , kylesmyle , pberk 

 

Power BI add-in now has auto refresh configuration that you can set for continuous slideshow scenario. 

You can read more about it here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/supporting-continuous-slide-shows-in-power-bi-storytelling-add-in/ and here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-power-bi-powerpoint-add-in-whats-new#continuous-slide-show-auto-refresh 

 

Can this help with your scanario?

 

Thanks, Maya

    Will it update while the slideshow is in full screen play-mode? If so, then it would be a great new feature!

    Thanks a lot for the link. However we tried it with some colleagues, at the moment when the PowerPoint is in slide show and the data is refreshed a message is dispalyed in the bottom left corner of the screen, saying that fresh data is ready and can be refreshed by clicking on the button. How to have this refresh done without asking for the user's input?

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    Samuel

        Hi Maya,

        Thanks a lot for your answer, indeed after further tests it does work smoothly!!

        There is still a big hurdle remaining for us to adopt this solution to display data, it is that the PowerPoint slideshow pauses if another software is used on the computer at the same time. I guess this is more of a PowerPoint issue than a PowerBI one anyway.

         

         

        Best regards,

        Samuel
