Export to PowerPoint resizing the pages

[dfox09]

When exporting from Power BI in the service, to PowerPoint, it appears that not all of the page is exported. To put this in another way, when I open up PowerPoint and examine the page that was exported from Power BI, it's as if the page appears zoomed in, with a slider (that doesn't work because the whole page is captured as an image). I've tried both "Current Values" and "Default Values" and neither works. I am using Windows 10 on the PC side. Any suggestions?

following this thread, i have the same issue 😞 any solutions found yet?

@dfox09 did you get any solution for this? I'm having the same problem and it seems that even 2 years after your post there isn't any solution.

Did you use custom page size in Power BI desktop?  PowerPoint doesn't know how to handle that, it expects the default 16:9

[dfox09]

Probably not. How do I set a custom page size? I am new to Power BI.

Thanks!

on Power BI Desktop click an unused area of the page, then click the paint roller, Page size.

[dfox09]

It is 16:9. Isn't that the proper proportions?

Don

[lbendlin]

yes, that should work.  Do you see the issue with other reports too?

[dfox09]

What I have found is that even though the aspect ratio is 16:9, it doesn't work. However another report that is custom does work and another report that was 16:9 also worked. So even though it appears to have the proper ratio it will not export properly. Any other suggestions?

Can you try without the background image?

[dfox09]

I can try. Is that a setting in the pbix or there someplace on the service I can make that setting?

Don

[lbendlin]

in the pbix, same place where you looked up the page size.

[dfox09]

i took out both the background image and the wallpaper, published to the Service, re-exported to Power Point and it still looks like it is zoomed in.

Interesting.  Any other visuals on that page that are oversized?

if you can recreate the report (not sure how much effort) that might help get rid of any leftover layout constraints.

[dfox09]

Not sure what you mean by "oversize" but we did talk about recreating the report to see if that would make a difference.

Thanks!
