I have some slicers on the report, AttributeSlicers and Slicers, and encounter some problems when applying filters and exporting the filtered report to PPT:

 

1. AttributeSlicer filter doesn't work with Export to PPT

2. I have pro license, and filtered report through Slicer can be exported to PPT after using 'Save As' or 'Save'; but other people who I shared the dashboard can't export the filtered report to PPT since they don't have 'Save as' or 'Save' under 'File' menu. I am not sure if a pro license is needed for a user to use 'Save' or there's somewhere I can give them 'write' access so that they are able to save the filtered report then export the filtered report.

 

Thanks!

    Anonymous The slicer selections don't export to PowerPoint currently - we definitely need this! According to MS, adding this functionality is on the road map.

     

    The only person who can have "write" access to a report saved on your account is  you. If you were collaborating with others in a group workspace where the report was published instead of publishing to your workspace, the other group members could have "write" access to the report, but only Pro license holders can have group workspaces. As far as I know, this is the only setup that allows multiple people to have write access to one report.

     

    I have been using the snipping tool to take screenshots of reports I need to export and sticking them in PowerPoint in the meantime. This link is an article that shows you how to have pictures automatically sized to the powerpoint slide size, which at least makes it a little less tedious.

      Hi Anonymous, alm5084,

       

      for applying fillter in exporting, you could do this workaround solution as below:

      • Choose Edit View
      • Filter data as your need
      • Click save report
      • Download ppt file (the filtered layout will be exported in downloaded ppt)

        tringuyenminh92 Anonymous This feature is requested for report consumers who want to download the ppt with their filter selections. Report consumers typically do not have edit access to reports, nor can they save a copy to their own workspace. I believe this is by design, as report builders don't want users misusing datasets/reports etc..
