Report Canvas Size vs PowerPoint 16:9

Is set my report canvas size to 1920 x 1080. When I link the report into a standard 16:9 slide in PowerPoint, at full slide size in PowerPoint, the BI report contents are barely 50% of the vertical space.

 

Anyone have suggestions for the report canvas size to match PowerPoint dimensions?

Hi @jmfillman -  Dimensions can sometimes be tricky due to the differences in how both platforms handle sizing. If your Power BI report is set to a 16:9 aspect ratio. we have to set your Power BI report canvas to a size that matches the dimensions of a 16:9 PowerPoint slide.

Once the report is in PowerPoint, check if the report visualization is scaled correctly. Right-click on the embedded report in PowerPoint, select "Format Picture," and adjust the size and position to ensure it fills the slide appropriately.

The PowerPoint 16:9 pixels are 1920 x 1080, just like the Power I report, but they are not even close, BI to PowerPoint. Yes, I adjust the BI visual in PowerpOint to take up the full slide, year about the lower 40% is just whitespace, then the BI controls at the very bottom. It is odd
