To answer your question:

  1. Navigate to a Power BI Report in the Power BI Service and actually open a report.
  2. Upon opening a report in the Power BI Service, the small popup in the upper right-hand corner will become enabled where you can start the slideshow.

However, I have an additional suggestion for you: navigate to the Release tab on my GitHub repository and download Pre-Release v2.0.0-alpha .

 

 

 

I highly recommend you do this. Why?

 

  1. I completely reformatted the popup with GitHub's own primer.css, so it looks x100 more presentable.
  2. I fixed a bug where clicking the Play/Stop button would close the popup but not affect the slideshow.
  3. This release now supports... (drum roll please): IMPORT MODE POWER BI REPORTS. Yes, that's right. Both Import-Mode and Direct Query/Live Connection reports are now supported in this extension.

Essentially, in building this extension, I taught myself:

The extension is now capable of some incredible feats, such as:

  • Detecting your connectivity mode.
  • Pressing the appropriate refresh button for your respective connectivity mode (if you didn't know, different connectivity modes require different refresh buttons to be pressed in the Power BI Service's user interface).
  • Determinging when you navigate to a different report or a different workspace (even if the same report exists in two or more workspaces, it is still able to tell the difference).

You are probably aware that there is a refresh limit for Pro users and Premium users both in Power BI. However, there is no refresh limit for refreshes that are initialized inside the Power BI Service's user interface (😉). So if you know some JQuery and use those two Mutation repositories I linked above, you can change the webpage's DOM and listen for those changes and then respond to them. It is quite advanced but totally awesome to pull off. The result is Pre-Release v2.0.0-alpha.

 

Check it out.

Hi Anonymous !!

 

First of all, I really want to thank you for your hardwork, dedication and kindness to share this awesome solution!

I tried to use your latest GitHub release, but it seems not working for Power BI's Service New Look (neither refresh nor slideshow)

Do you know any workaround for this issue?

 

Thanks!!

    Hi RoseAmS 

     

    Would you kindly mind going to my GitHub repository and opening up this issue there? That way, I can easily track it!

     

    In the mean time, let me take a look and see if I can reproduce your error on my end. And thank you very much for the kind encouragement. ğŸ˜Š
