Currently, the Export to PowerPoint feature exports one image file per report. Update the Export to PowerPoint feature to support exporting an image per report visual instead.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

Complètement nul la capture d'ecran. Pas besoin d'un lien pour ça, autant le faire soi-même. Le seul intérêt d'un export est d'avoir chaque visualisation indépendante.... Incompréhensible.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

Hi, we are paying for full Power BI functionality and now this feature has been removed. It is really painful when we do not have the option to delete certain charts inside PowerPoint if there is no data in them or we just do not want to show them particularly...

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

Any comment if there are future plans to bring back this functionality? It's been about two months at this point.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

This has really messed up our reporting since this used to work...

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

Deifinetly need the separate objects export to Powerpoint back.
Current approach is very painful, particularly wanting to keep quality image.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

I agree with all of these comments. This change has created a significant increase in the amount of time it takes for my team to create powerpoint slides using a different aspect ratio.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

It seems like a step backwards to have had this functionality removed.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

A good dashboard or BI Report does not necessarily translate to a good PowerPoint slide. Consistent with the other comments, the separate tiles was much easier to manipulate and present in PowerPoint. In current form, there's no reason to export from BI to PowerPoint... we're just snipping everything now with the related loss of resolution. While I understand this was a "preview" feature, I'm not sure why functionality would be removed. A user could always "group" the elements in PP if they need that for some reason. It would be helpful to have this feature reinstated.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

The previous functionality with individual visuals and text boxes in the export to power point was the preferred solution for my company. The current solution (everything in one image) will create more work using a snipping tool to edit the slides as needed for monthly financial reports. Having the option to switch between individual visuals in the export or the full slide in the export would be ideal.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

It would be better to have the objects separated (especially 4:3 and 16:9 fixed) but We already experienced issues with separate objects when we had a report containing dozen single lines and weird shapes. In PBI everything was pixelperfect aligned but in the export everything was misaligned, duplicated, etc.. With current solution this issue is fixed but the screen quality is not so good as it was before.
