Hello all,

 

I have seen a feature about text boxes remain editable while we download from the service in the ppt. format. 
If anyone have some news about it

Thanks a lot

Hi @Apou258 ,

When you try this option, you are not able to make changes to files downloaded locally, if you are interested.

 

Hope it helps!

Hi @Anonymous,

In my company, I am not allowed to export through "embed live data" but they still want to have the ability to have the text box fillable in the power point,

 

Do you have any solutions for this ?

Hi @Apou258 ,

Regarding our discussion, I wonder if this issue has been resolved by now? It's been a long time since I've heard back from you and I'm not sure if all is well. Please feel free to let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

 

Hope it helps!

Hi @Apou258 ,

If you want to load the text box, since power bi only gives two options, then you can export as an image and

then manually load the text box yourself and still be able to edit the original file without using live data, I haven't found out more at the moment.

Hi @Apou258 ,

If you want to edit locally, you can't choose to export as an image, but as live data.

At this point in your local area, you can make changes to your PowerPoint.

Hi v-xingshen-msft,

It's not possible through the "export as an image" ?
