Export to PowerPoint (Preview) feedback
We have a report that is filtered to display specific project information. When we export to PowerPoint, the project we have filtered for the online display is not exported - the first project in the drop down list is exported. We are new PowerBI users - is there a setting we need to change?
unfortunately there is no interaction between the online viewing experience and the export to powerpoint. So the export contains the state of the dashboard at the time of upload or last save. So the only way now would be to edit the report in the service, then set the filters, save the report and then create the export....
If you ask me, don't expect a GA status soon or new features being added the upcoming six months....
Actually, I just attended the BI Summit in Seattle last week and this is expected to GA by the October release and will include this functionality in the PBI Desktop. Here is a link to just one of the sessions, its an hour and well worth the time to give you an idea of what is coming soon. If you skip to about 40mins in you will see them export to PDF :)
