Selecting pages to export

[MEnewbe]

I have a 50-page report that my users can interact with.  They don't typically want to export all the pages to PowerPoint.  Does anyone have a work around that will allow users/readers using Service to select only certain pages to export to PowerPoint?  I've looked into bookmarks and row-level security but the pages they want could vary from day to day and meeting to meeting.  

For example:

Page 1: sales data
Page 2: Cost of goods sold
Page 3: Regional sales
Page 4: number of sales reps

A user attending a meeting may only want to export pages 1,3, and 4.  Currently the export the whole report and then delete the PPT slides they don't want.

The above is an easy example but when there are 50 pages it gets harder.  Can you suggest any workarounds?

@collinq  - Thank you.  I'm not sure giving "edit" access is what we want to do at this point...but I'm going to look into it.

Hi @MEnewbe ,

At this time, there is no way to specifically select pages.  However, you can probably do it with Power Automate where you select specific pages.

Or, if you use the "Export as Image" option, you can "export current page" and then do it that way 4 times (once for each page).

Or, you could "hide" all the other pages and seelct "exclude hidden report pages".

Power Automate might be more efficient though since you have many tabs in your report and it would be a manual process to hide everything.

@collinq Thank you - I can use "hide" feature but that has to be done in desktop and then republish.  Do you know of a way that Service level users can "hide" pages?  If they could hide pages in Service that would take care of the issue.

Hi @MEnewbe ,

Yes, you can allow folks to hide the tabs in the service.  BUT, this is going to be a permissions thing.  If you are in the Service and allow the user to "Edit" then they can select the tab(s) and hide them.  You might not want users to have this permissions level but yes, you can set them up.
