Export to PowerPoint reveals "hidden" Pages, and the "hidden" pages contribute to the maximum of export limit of 15 pages. It would be great if:
a) the hidden pages did not contribute to the maximum 15 pages
b) the hidden pages were not revealed when exported to PowerPoint

Hi everyone, This is coming soon when we also release filtered export capabilities in the service. We’ll have an update on this status shortly! Thanks, Chris

RE: Export to Powerpoint - Hide "Hidden" Pages

Given the end user an "option" to see the hidden page isn't a fix.

RE: Export to Powerpoint - Hide "Hidden" Pages

as we are using 'hidden' pages often for report & data validation I would love to see a functionality to 'not allow' export of hidden pages which cannot be switched by report consumer.

Are you stupid? Do you even know what's the meaning of "Hidden page"?
We hide the pages because we don't want to user to see them.
Why would you even allow user to export those pages?

RE: Export to Powerpoint - Hide "Hidden" Pages

by default hidden tabs should not export, please change it ASAP as it destroys whole good idea of exporting with filters

RE: Export to Powerpoint - Hide "Hidden" Pages

What would make the most sense is if there was an option for the Report Builder to select which Tabs are exportable, whether they are hidden or not.

This will allow control over which tabs are accessible and if the user was presented which a check box selection of all Tabs that are available to export and include in the PowerPoint or PDF, that would be the most powerful option.

RE: Export to Powerpoint - Hide "Hidden" Pages

So with the new update, there is now an option to Include or Exclude hidden pages. But how do we set a default option to exclude hidden pages? We do not want end users with view only access to be able to see the hidden pages - these are hidden for a reason.
