PowerBI Exported to PowerPoint - how to remove Page Number from image
Hi,
When I export the PowerBI Dashboard to PowerPoint it brings over in the image at the bottom right of each slide - page 1 or 7 for example. Is there any way to remove this or stop it from happening?
Or even so it dosnt count the hidden tabs?
Thank you,
Rhianna
Hi Anonymous ,
The issue has fixed. (ICM: 301468668), There is no form of disabling it so far . This is by design. Maybe you can export it as PDF to PPT. Or create an idea here. https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

+1 on this issue appearing this week. I am using the PowerBI webapp so not a versioning issue. Looked all around but there does not appear to be a setting to turn this off. Very annoying to have to manually edit each exported image, bad choice on PowerBI's part to push this change without a corresponding setting.
Hi, was wondering if there is a resolution for this? I'm not finding where we can possibly remove this option.
I had the same question. This just started this week - my report did not have the page numbers at the bottom last week. My version is Version: 2.103.881.0 64-bit (March 2022). I did not change any settings inbetween so am not sure how this started appearing.
I am facing the same problem.
It has started only this week.
For the past many years we have been exporting to PPT, but only now, all of a sudden page numbers are appearing at the bottom of each slide.
Kindly suggest a way to disable it.
I am already using the latest version of Power BI Desktop (2.103.881.0 64-bit (March 2022).
All, I have the latest version and this is happening to me too. There is a setting I have screenshot below that I have turned off that MAYBE could be considered related to this. But I don't see anything else. I hope I'm not missing something but I went ahead and voted on the issue anyways because it's pretty urgent for us

This shouldn't show issue as being solved. You just submitted a ticket. The worst thing about these fixed page numbers is that it includes hidden pages in total number of pages. Please address this useless feature immediately.
Is there any update to this? The bar with the page number ruins our complete report that we export and add additional pages in PowerPoint... this "new feature" makes more work than less and is not user friendly at all!
Please let me know when this is fixed, just noticied this a few days ago and it is such a hassle to put blank boxes over!

Not intending to be rude or anything, but why would this be by design? Page numbers can be added in PPT already so this "feature" is completely unneccessary. I have an entire sales and service staff that we were finally able to get them to export themselves. This is a minor miracle. But they won't do PDFs because they have other PPT decks they combine with what they export out of PBI. We need a solution for this ASAP or we are going to take a step backwards

Hi Anonymous,
When you say dashboard, I assume you mean Power BI report, because you can't export a dashboard to PowerPoint 😉
Strange, but I can't get those page numbers to show up in my exports. I tried enabling and disabling this but that also didn't help:
Where are you exporting from exactly?
I tried everything, but I don't have those page numbers in PowerPoint anywhere:
Hi Nickyvv,
Ha ha - yes fair question. Yes its after I have published the dashboard and viewing it at as a report online.
When I am in the report - I select Export >> PowerPoint (it then runs the PowerPoint and I when I view the report, it has the page numbers stuck in the image).
Where do you even get the option of page numbers that you are showing in your screen grab?
Thank you,
Rhianna
