Integration to PowerPoint via Publish to Web and Web Viewer Add-In

Hi,   Just want to share that we can integrate our Power BI Reports in Power Point via Publish to Web and Web Viewer Add-In.   It works better compared to Power BI Tiles Add-In.
Tips and Tricks

Buried in the small print...

This add-in works in: PowerPoint 2013 Service Pack 1 or later on Windows, PowerPoint 2016 or later on Mac, PowerPoint 2016 or later on Windows, PowerPoint on iPad, PowerPoint on the web.

If you don't have the above, try using Office Online.


I got this to work using Office Online. Sometimes I had to 'Open In Desktop App' to make changes that seem impossible in the Online version (whereupon the embedded Power BI app simply shows the 'Sign In' button which acheives nothing), but as soon as you return to the Online version, it works again.

Thinks this is caused by the 'Web Viewer' addin relying on Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Team have some bugs to cure in Edge;

But as with most things with Microsoft, don't hold your breath.....
