Advocate IILive report embed - PowerPoint Export for Power BI reports
Hi sba_ur,
Exporting a live report in PowerPoint shows an embeded version of the report, fully functional.THe live connection only works if the windows account that is running PowerPoint also has access to the report, so if you share the file, data will not be accessible.
When you export a report to PowerPoint and open it, at the bottom is this dropdown:
This allows you to select what data is in the PowerPoint.
If a user doesn't have access to the report, and it's set to Live data or Snapshot in PowerPoint, this is what they see when they open the file:If you found this helpful, cosnider giving Kudos. If I solved your problem or answered your question, mark this post as a solution.

Hi sba_ur ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
When you embed a Power BI report into PowerPoint using the Power BI add-in, it is not exporting or copying the dataset into the PPT file. The embedded report is essentially a secure ‘live link’ to the report hosted in the Power BI Service
-The add-in acts as a frame inside PowerPoint that connects back to the Power BI Service. When you open the slide, the report is loaded in real time from Power BI, and the data is rendered on demand.
-No copy of the underlying dataset or model is stored in the PowerPoint file. The report only works if the viewer has a valid Power BI license and access permissions to the underlying report. Without connecting to Power BI Service, the live embed will not display anything.
