Hi @Joerobert,

 

>>I am trying to exprt my report to  powerpoint and am seeing the error message "this visual does not support exporting"

Nope, current 'export to powerpoint' feature still not support custom visuals and R visual.

 

You can take a look at below link to know more about this:

Export Power BI report to PowerPoint (Preview)

 

A few important notes to be aware of:

  • If you can’t see the Export to PowerPoint button, then your tenant admin probably disabled this feature. Please contact your admin for details.
  • In-session interactivity (highlighting and filtering, drill-down, etc.) is not supported yetwhen exporting. You will see the original visualizations as they were saved in the report.
  • Custom visuals and R visuals are not supported yet. They will be exported as a blank image to PowerPoint.
  • Reports with more than 15 pages can’t be exported. If your report contains more than 15 pages and you need to export just a bunch of the pages, save a copy of the report with only the needed pages and then export.
  • Background images will be cropped with the chart’s bounding area. It is highly recommended to remove background images from the report before exporting to PowerPoint.
  • The process of exporting the report to PowerPoint might take a few minutes to complete, depends on the structure of the report and the load on the service. Please be patient and wait for completion, this feature is still in Preview.

Hello @Joerobert,

 

We have initiated the certification process for ‘Box and Whisker by MAQ Software' from our side. Once the visual is certified you will be able to export it to powerpoint.

 

We will notify you on this thread when we have an update on this.

 

Thanks!!

Thank you for the support!

Hello @Joerobert

The visual is now officially certified by Power BI team.

You will now be able to export the visual to PowerPoint using out of box export feature of Power BI.

 

We would greatly appreciate if you post your review of this visual on AppSource.
Keep sending your feedback and help us make the visuals better.

 

Thanks

Thanks Xiaoxin

 

I now understand that power bi services cannot export custom visuals, i will keep an eye out for this during the next updates and hopefully this will be included. Also i think it would be nice if you can export from the desktop as well; i will submit as a request.

 

Thank you
