Hi guys.

I don't see that option, why?

Do I need to apply for it or something like that?

 

 

Greetings.

    Hi tabar,

     

    Are you indicating there is an option to disable embedded links? I would be really interested to find out where this is exactly! Could you let me know where exactly this can be found?

      I do not really know if you mean hyperlinks? By the way you can just delete all the links from pictures in power point with some macro. For example create a macro and copy these codes and run it:

       

      Sub DeleteLinks()
      Dim oSl As Slide
      Dim x As Long

      For Each oSl In ActivePresentation.Slides
      For x = oSl.Hyperlinks.Count To 1 Step -1
      oSl.Hyperlinks(x).Delete
      Next
      Next

      End Sub

      Hi JonatanNG

       

      Please note that this is really not about how to make a PowerPoint. And what was described earlier (setting a macro) is not a setting in PowerBi, but rather something within any Office program. For example check out here: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00944_Delete_all_hyperlinks_in_a_slide_presentation.htm

       

      This is about the problem that occurs when you have made a PowerPoint from a PowerBi report, that within that PowerPoint it will always have embedded links. So if you open up the PowerPoint and hover over a graph with your mouse, it will show the link to the PowerBi report.

       

      Any suggestions for a non-technical work-around to not have those embedded links are much appreciated.

      It is really awkward. Do you have the latest version of the Power BI desktop? Otherwise write an email to the developers: [email protected]
