Export to live PPTX

[AntenPuzl]

How to save to live PPTX format? Not through the menu, but through the API.

"export"  and "live"  are mutually exclusive.  Please provide a more detailed explanation of what you are aiming to achieve. What have you tried and where are you stuck?

In Power BI there is an option of export to "live" PPTX. I want to do the same via API.

Thanks for the reply from lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight:

Hi, @AntenPuzl

At present, I recommend using a manual approach for dynamic embedding:

1.First, utilise the direct export method you mentioned.

2.Second, consider using the Power BI add-in within PowerPoint.
