Welcome
back to this week’s edition of the Power BI blog series. This week, we look at the Power BI add-in for
PowerPoint.

Just recently, Microsoft added new
feature, a Power BI add-in for PowerPoint that makes it easier to find and
insert the Power BI reports you need for your presentation.
When you add the Power BI add-in to
your slide, the add-in automatically scans the title of the slide and suggests
Power BI content that might be relevant.
For example, if the title of your slide is “Holiday campaign status”,
the add-in will show you a list of Power BI reports that contain data about
campaigns.
The add-in also shows you reports
you’ve recently visited in Power BI, so you can easily access reports you’re
working on or frequently use.
It should be noted that if the report you wanted to
add doesn’t appear in the list of suggestions, you can just copy the report’s
URL and paste it into the input box, as you’ve always done.

Once you find the report you want to
insert, you can choose to insert a complete page or a specific visual from the
report. You can also update filters or
slicers before you insert your selection.
Filter and slicer values are saved together with the report or visual
you picked.

If you have permission to grant others
access to this report, you can also select the ‘Give people automatic access to
this data’ checkbox, so that when others in your organisation view this
presentation, they’ll be able to see the data you’ve just added to the slide.
In the
meantime, please remember we offer training in Power BI which you can find out
more about here. If you wish to catch up on past articles, you
can find all of our past Power BI blogs here.
