Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please check the considerations-and-limitations for this feature.

  • If you don't see the Export option, make sure that you are viewing a report (not a dashboard).

  • URL filters aren't currently respected when you choose Current Values for your export.

  • When exporting to PowerPoint, if the report uses a custom font, that font will be replaced with a default font.

  • The following visual types are not supported, and will not be exported to PowerPoint:

    • Custom visuals that haven't been certified) aren't supported.
    • The ESRI ArcGIS visual is not supported
    • R and Python visuals are not supported.
    • Visuals in a drill down state will be exported in their default state.
    • Background images are cropped with the chart's bounding area. We recommend that you remove background images before you export to PowerPoint.
  • Some reports cannot be exported. These include:

    • If you share a dashboard with someone outside of your organization, and thereby, a user who isn't in your Power BI tenant, that user can't export the shared dashboard's associated reports to PowerPoint. For example, if you're aaron@contoso.com, you can share with david@cohowinery.com. But david@cohowinery.com can't export the associated reports to PowerPoint.
    • Reports with more than 50 report pages. Paginated reports don't have this limitation. See Print a paginated report for details.
    • Reports larger than 500 MB when exported.
    • Reports being exported to older versions of PowerPoint.
    • Reports that take longer than an hour to process.
    • Report pages that take longer than 6 minutes to load.
  • If the Export to PowerPoint menu item isn't available in the Power BI service, it's likely because your Power BI admin or report owner disabled the feature. Contact your admin or the owner for details.

  • The resolution of exported report pages is 1280 pixels x 720 pixels.

  • The Power BI service uses your Power BI language setting as the language for the PowerPoint export. To see or set your language preference, in your browser, select the cog icon > Settings > General > Language.

  • Export to PowerPoint is not currently supported for tenants in the China North region.

This feature is still a preview feature, you could report issue and contact support here:

Support | Microsoft Power BI

Jay
