Export to Powerpoint while Maintaining Hyperlinks

[rachelbabcock]

Hello --

Is there any way to export a Power BI report from the service to Powerpoint, while maintaining hyperlinks in the report? I'm struggling because when exporting to PowerPoint, everything generates as an image. Is there ANY alternative to this? Using some sort of Power Flow, a third party solution, etc?

I know that links are maintained when exporting to PDF, but my end users really need to be able to export to PowerPoint so that they can add onto the slides for other purposes. 

Clearly there is SOME sort of hyperlink functionality when exporting to PowerPoint from Power BI because the automatically generated first page includes a link back to the Power BI report. Just not sure how that's happening on the backend. 

Thanks!

Hi @rachelbabcock ,

Try to use power automate cloud Flow - https://us.flow.microsoft.com/

More Info : 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/connectors/powerbi/#export-to-file-for-power-bi-reports
OR You can try to export it to PDF/xlsx first ( where link generated )and then convert that file into PPTX.

Third-party tools :
1. PBRS (Power BI Reports Scheduler) 
https://go.christiansteven.com/power-bi-report-scheduler
It is used for automating the scheduling and distribution of reports and dashboards

2. PBI robots

 For anyone who chances across this, @MrSujay 's  suggestion about using Power Automate does NOT work. The hyperlinks are not preserved.  It is using the same PPTX generator engine that power's app.powerbi.com so it is hardly surprising that it does not work.

I can confirm however that this tool works really well https://www.adobe.com/au/acrobat/online/pdf-to-ppt.html
