Exporting PowerBI Desktop Report on Report Server to PowerPoint

Hi is there a way or are there any plans to be allowed to export a powerbi report on the Report Server (that was built in the desktop), to PowerPoint?  Apps.powerbi.com allows this but I haven't seen it in the Report Server.  Does anyone know of a solution?

 

Thanks

    shera276 One workaround we have adopted  is that we put the Static content of PowerPoint in multiple tabs of PowerBI. so instead of  Powerbi embedded in Powerpoint it is  Powerpoint embedded in PowerBI :)

    Well, there is no solution for this problem yet, but you can visualize an Power BI Report inside your Power Point presentation using the 'Web Viewer' add-in from the Office Store.

     

    If you go to this workarround, just dont forget to use HTTPS connections and the '?rs:embed=true' option on your Power BI URL.

      Thank you. This would normally work but 1. we use http and 2) we need to be allowed to delete specific visuals in some cases from the powerpoint. You can do this in the apps.powerbi.com export but not with your suggestion.  Thank you for it though b/c I didn't know we could do that.  Hopefully MSFT will allow similar export capablity in Report Server like they do in apps.powerbi.com.
