Hey guys,

 

I used to get a the status code 500 error, when trying to export a report to PowerPoint.

After reading a bit someone suggested that the file size might've been too big, so I shrunk it down. My file doesn't go above 40MB. My report consists of 10 pages with about 5/6 visuals with data on there. When I try to export to PowerPoint, I now get error code 403

I hope the performance issues with the export feature can be fixed soon.

 

Also, I don't know what status code 403 means.

    Hi HarmVanG,

     

    40MB is still a big PBIX that might fail with a timeout.

    As for 403, this is an authorization problem. First time I see it. If persist, please contact our support email at [email protected].

     

    Thanks,

      Hi Ron,

       

      I've actually reduced the size to about 23 MB. I don't get why I'm getting authorization problems though:

       

      - I'm the creator of the dataset

      - I'm an admin in the group workspace.

       

      I'm also not using any custom visuals or R visuals.

       

      I've tried re-uploading the dataset but it didn't help at the moment I'm getting error code 500 again :smileyfrustrated:
