Export to powerpoint

[jrobinson]

Hi,

I am trying to export a dashboard to powerpoint. I have imported a custome theme in desktop version (which I appreciate is still in preview too) and these colours transport fine when I publish, however I lose all sight of these colours in the exported Powerpoint and the colours return to their default. Is there any plan from Microsoft to export custom colours - this is really important on my project.

Is there also any plan to make the visualisations more interactive - i.e. I can see the scroll bar on some tables when exported to ppt but I am unable to use the scroll? I presume this is because the export to ppt feature simply takes a snapshot but it is not very helpful and makes reports useless.

Thanks for any info

I get a similar issue, however strangely the first slide retains the colours but then loses them for the rest!

Hi @jrobinson,

I can't reproduce your issue, when I upload the report, these colors which updated by theme will lost. Can you share a sample file to test?

>>however I lose all sight of these colours in the exported Powerpoint and the colours return to their default. 

I think export function may not support to theme feature.( both these features are in preview, maybe it not released yet)

In addition, if you have some great ideas to improve power bi, you can share them to ideas forum.

Thanks for your reply @v-shex-msft. Unfortunately I can't give you a sample as the data is confidential but the custom theme definitely transfers across to the pulished dashboard.

I'll add these ideas to the idea forum, as I believe they would be helpful for the full version of these features, thanks for the heads up!
