Hi Anonymous ,

Thanks for taking time to have a look at this. Strange, that it works for you.

 

I just repeated a super-minimal PoC:

 

I open a blank report

I use "enter data" to add 5 rows

I create a bar chart

I publish to a Workspace on Power BI Service

I open the report in Power BI Service (by default it has no sensitivity label, as you can see from the screenshot below)

I click on "Export" > "Power Point"

I open the Power Point

For editing, my organization requires me to choose a sensitivity label. I choose 'Public'.

I save the PowerPoint and send it to my other Email Adress, which is outside of my Organization (before I can send the email, my company wants me to add a sensitivity label for the email. I choose "Public")

I open the Email and download the PowerPoint. I open the PowerPoint and see the Bar Chart:

I click on "Enable Editing" and the Bar Chart disappears:

 

 

 

So, no RLS, no refresh schedule, really nothing special.

 

I am wondering if it has anything to do with the sensitivity labels. So, I also tried classifying the report as internal before exporting to PowerPoint, but this didn't make a difference.

 

Would really appreaciate help with this. 

 

Best regards,

Alexandra
