Building Power BI reports into PowerPoint presentations

Microsoft PowerPoint remains a standard slide presentation application and the integration of data analyses and visualizations from external tools is very commonly an essential component to effective presentation decks. In response to the volume of customer requests, the ability to export Power BI reports as PowerPoint files is currently available as a preview feature. Each page of the Power BI report is converted into an independent PowerPoint slide and the Power BI Service creates a title page based on the report and relevant metadata, such as the last refreshed date. Like most preview features, there are certain current limitations, such as the static nature of the exported file and the visuals supported, but the feature is available to all Power BI users to streamline the creation of presentation slides.
