Greetings,

As we roll out Power BI within my company, we share how your team is working hard to continuously improve the product.  With regards to exporting to PowerPoint, is there a backlog of specific features that you have prioritized as the next to push to the preview function?  Can these be shared within this thread?  High on the list for us are a few items listed as limitations:

  • Custom visuals, and R visuals, are not currently supported. Any such visuals are exported as a blank image into PowerPoint.
  • In-session interactivity such as highlighting and filtering, drill-down, and so on, are not yet supported when exporting to PowerPoint. The exported PowerPoint shows the original visuals as they were saved in the report.

Many thanks,
Josh

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks for reaching out. We do have a backlog of improvements but no slated release dates yet and the prioritization may change.
    Specifically for the items you mentioned:

    - Custom visuals support is activly being worked on. We plan to gradually support more more custom visuals starting April. The un-supported visuals however, should be exported with a relevant message today and ont a blank image.
    - We are aware of the need for in-session interactivity and are looking into it. We do not have a release date for it yet.

    Thanks,
    Ella
