Export to PowerPoint (Preview) feedback
Thanks for your feedback!
This feature is currently in preview mode. We are aware of everything you described and they will be addressed before going to GA.
An exception to that is supporting session level slicers and filters (#4) that will be released post GA.
Please note that some custom visuals are already certified for export (#5). You can read more about it here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-custom-visuals-certified/
Hi Elbe, thats great news, and thank you for such a quick response. I do love the Power Bi updates, and I know there are regular and great improvements all the time.
Do you have an indication of when the PowerPoint export improvements will go into GA? After selling Power BI in as a sollution to a major client (my mistake for asuming the itegration with PowerPoint would be seamless), they now have to screen grab 12 pages of reports for 22 different clients every week. It is a real drag and a fail on my part. I do want to move them to online access, but PowerPoint to PDF is the only option for them at this moment.
Thanks again.
- Can you we lease let me know if there will be a way that export to Power Point will be able to be use with PBI Premium Embedded.
Export from embedded artifacts is not in our immediate roadmap. To promote that, it would be great if you could vote on that idea in our Ideas forum: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi?WT.mc_id=Community&query=Office%20export
My horrible hopefully temporary workaround has been to use the snipping tool to grab screenshots of each Power BI report page and paste each one into powerpoint.

This article describes how to resize pictures automatically in Power Point. After you set up the resizing, it describes choosing the picture file you want, but instead I just copy the screenshot, go back to power point, select the picture box without clicking the insert picture icon, and then paste your copied picture. It resizes the copy & paste the same way it would if you chose a picture file to put there.
It in no way replaces the need for Power BI to be able to export to Power Point properly, but it at least saves a little time until the feature is working.
