Thank you for your response, v-yingjl .

I apologize for perhaps not being clear on my issue.

  • The exported Power BI object WAS set to be static in the desktop app ("Show as Saved Image" enabled)
  • When the same file is opened in PowerPoint Online, the Power BI object is no longer static:
    • data is automatically refreshed upon opening the file
    • the visuals are interactive

Keeping the object static is preferred in some circumstances in which a ppt file is distributed among members without access to the connected Power BI report.

I would appreciate your feedback for this matter.
