Being able to intergrade Power BI dashboards and reports into a Power Point deck will allow Power BI leapfrog the competition as a solid differentiation play and also in terms of value to end users.

- Yes, I agree. "Story telling" has been big part of data visualization tools in 2014 and hence Power Point Integration will become one of its "power"ful features.
- This is a huge differentiator to our competition and gets great support when showing to the business users as they are very familiar with screenshoting pivot tables into powerpoint.
- The current versions of Power View for SharePoint allow a user to export the report to Power Point but you have to be able to connect to the back end data to be able to use it. This means that if I save to Power Point and then email the file to someone who does not have rights then they will not be able to see anything. If this were to be done it would be nice if I had the ability to choose if I wanted the data to be live or static, and then I would be able to share the file to whomever I wanted.
- This a a huge differentiator. If Microsoft cannot do that, who can do that ...
- The ability to embed charts and pivots built in Power BI into Power Point will be critical. The reality is executives still want PPT presentations with commentary instead of a dashboard.
- It would be great to pin or link items from a dashboard or report to a PowerPoint, which could update like any other link, saving a lot of admin time.
- Any update on this? Will the GA launch be including this? Yes, I agree... crucial feature to really get mass adoption to a tool like this. Especially given that you can't copy/paste individual charts, you have to use a snipping tool. So at least getting exports to ppt would really help!
- Hi Microsoft, any update on this? As other said, this is crucial. Have a great day, love what you do
- Need exports. I can show reports to customers but have no way of sending a copy to them
- Great idea!
