View filter applied when exporting to PPT

Hi, I need your help!!!  I want to view filters applied on the page or in all pages of a report I'm exporting to PowerPoint from PBI Service.

Let me explain better:  when I export data from a table to Excel there is a row on the top that shows which filters are applied in that visual, for example, "Filters applied Month is December, Year is 2020 etc.".

I want the same row when exporting a report in PPT, referring to filters applied on that page or on all pages of the report.

Is that possible?

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The only way I know how to do this would be to put those filters as visuals on the page.  But, I understand how this might cause real estate issues on the screen.  Maybe you could add a visual like "Enlighten Data Story" to display the chosen items.  There is a similar thread here that might be helpful:

Hi, @Anonymous 

When you click on the “Export to pdf/ppt” option in the Power BI service, you will see the option for you to choose if you want to filter with the Current value(Filtered) or the default value(Not filtered).

But you can’t see the filter selection in the PDF/PPT file you exported. I suggest you to use the list type slicer which can display the selections to show the filter selections of yours, like this:
