Hi,

Not sure if anybody has run in similar situation when exporting to PPT like this: only PPT cover slide, and rest slides are blank. No error message. One of my datasets is very big though.

Thanks!

Hi,

This issues was resolved. To apply the resolution you'll have to save again your report before exporting to PowerPoint

  Hi Ron,
  
  Not sure if you replied to my post...
  
  I exported first report 2 days ago, and I did get the report exported to the PPT, although the image was not good enough since some chart's background color was messed up and one chart came out from nowhere was on the image.
  
  Yesterday I started exporting the second dashboard with 2 datasets and 6 pages, and got a cover slides and 6 blank slides. Today I kept tring and removed the big dataset and 5 pages so only a very small dataset and one page with three bar charts, and still got blank slide in the ppt. during the process, I did remove the dahboard, report and dataset on the Powre BI service and saved the file on desktop before every publishing.
  
  Any idea?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Erin

    You have to save the report on the web not in the desktop version. Save it again and it works. But generally I found this feature is a big junk. It changes the local format (for me German to English) / It changes the font of texts / size of texts (specially in the tables it cut out always) / The bottom graphics wouldn't have the right position. / After the March-update all text boxes are out. / you have to try the export many times. / and more bugs. :\
