I should be able to click on Slicers and data should get filtered , I should be able to use Play Axis of the Scatter Plot on the PPT itself, If I click on a value in a chart the values should get filtered.

RE: Interact with Exported PowerPoint File

Dynamic graphs would be amazing, but even a static graph that you can reformat after exporting would be a huge help. The current method of exporting a report ultimately hasn't been useful because it's been too difficult to get the graphs looking the way I want them to in my ppt presentations (size, shape, color, data labels, etc.). I end up having to recreate the visuals in excel.

It would be good to be able to copy charts from power BI directly into excel or PPT and have them remain as a chart object.

RE: Interact with Exported PowerPoint File

Would be interesting, as it could easily be included in PP presentations without losing to interactivity and amount of data lying "behind" the initial view.
Would also make it easier to publish to websites, where PBI Embedded is quite complicated, whereas the unique "Publish to Web" features does not feel quite safe enough. Storing an offline PP presentation on a site would be a ok middle thing.

RE: Interact with Exported PowerPoint File

The export to Power Point was designed to be a static view of a point in time rather than a live view of the data. There are use cases for both scenarios and have marked this under review to track the people also needing an interactive experience.
