Thanks for your feedback!
- On the roadmap: custom visuals, filters, support more than 15 pages
- interactive reports, refreshable content directly from PPT are not on the roadmap for now
- As for the cover page, it can be easily replaced by your own slide (remember, this is PowerPoint :smileyvery-happy:)

This looks pretty great! I'm definitely excited to be able to use this for board presentations rather than screencapping page after page of reports.
I know not everyone will agree with this, but I really like the fact that it doesn't connect to live data - we often go back and look at slides from previous months, and a live connection would make that very difficult. I love being able to re-size individual elements and have it look great.
A few things:
- On the title page, the box that says "Last data refresh" is very misleading - that's the last time I uploaded a new version of the data model, not the last time the data was refreshed (from daily auto refreshes).
- Also on the title page, the box that says "Downloaded at" doesn't appear to be adjusted for local time. I tested one this morning and it says it was downloaded today at 2:27 PM, but it was actually 9:27 AM.
- It's a bummer that I can't change slicer selections and then re-export to Power Point. I've designed a fair number of reports so that they can be screencapped, slicer selections adjusted, and then screencapped again. It saves us from having a ton of nearly identical pages in the PBI report. Hopefully that will work eventually.
- A large number of my tables are getting re-sized and cut off, which means I can't use them in final presentations.
- The borders on a few objects are either missing or are thinner than the other borders, which can make it look like I was trying to make the object look 3D (yuck!).

Hi norahfox,
Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback, it is very helpful for us to improve the service.
To your specific points:
- Looks like a potential bug, we are looking into it
- This is a known issue. we don't have a way to know what is your local time, so we use GMT
- capturing in-session interactions (slicer state among them) is on the roadmap. meanwhile, it might be efffective for you to save a copy of the report with the current slicer state and then export this report to PPT (hopefully the number of variations is not too big)
- can you share the screenshots of those damaged tables and borders? you can send to [email protected]
Thanks,
Tzvi
