I work in a big insurance company and due to security reasons, we can't upload anything to the cloud / the power BI web services.
However, we love and use the Power Bi desktop to create beautiful internal reports. but we need to share them internally with slides.
we need a way to export reports directly from the power BI desktop to PowerPoint (without publishing the report to the web)
This is a must have feature for all the analysts in my team and will love to have your support on that.

RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
Agree. Much needed feature.
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
Clearly the omission is a conscious choice by MicroSoft which is trying to pull its users into the cloud as SAAS customers. The desktop version is just a teaser to allure risk averse CIOs to give it a try without letting their data off company systems. The 368 vote are meant to make the CIOs cave and allow cloud access, not to provide design insight to MS developers.
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
AGREED and Yes please have it added.
What is the votes/comments quota to make the feature a standard functionality? 368 votes thus far..

We used this feature on PowerView and will be great to have it on now PowerBi...letting us share our content as a read only file.
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
I agree with all the comments made here. You cannot have a world class BI tool without the basic features such as exporting from Power BI Desktop to MS PowerPoint. At times I try to save the dashboards I create on cloud, but sometimes even saving these can be nuisance. If I don't save this way (publish to cloud), I cannot have a set of slides. Please improve this as soon as yesterday. I am already considering moving to alternative options like Qlikview and Tableau because of this failure!
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
The lack of export to PowerPoint is a big miss on the desktop product.
Also, only allowing 15 slides for published reports is far too limiting. An example would be the Microsoft GDPR assessment tool which creates 25 tabs, so 25 slides. If you want to export this as is you have no option other than to break the report up, which is clunky at best. There are plenty of finance sector companies that would make good use of this feature if it were available. Please include this functionality.

I also dont understand how a Microsoft Tool (Desktop Version) cant export dashboards to the Microsoft Tool PowerPoint.
With regards to pro Version- why only 15 slides?! Please extend this number or our Company considers other tools for Creating Charts... such as cliqview or tableau.
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
Exporting a report to Powerpoint is available for Pro license users through the web-view, so why isn't it available in desktop view? Please include this feature for Desktop Power BI.

I work for an insurance company, and we're not allowed to publish data to the internet. Our actuaries are currently having to take screenshots from PowerBI desktop, to use in their presentations. We are trying to adopt PowerBI around the company, however not being able to save the desktop output as PDF, or incorporate into PowerPoint, is a real problem. We can publish to the on-premise report server, but that does not have a PDF or Powerpoint option.
This is a world-class reporting tool, let down by the lack of such basic features. Please, can you resolve this in a future release.

I feel the painof this group. My office hs similar issues wehere we need this tool to provide exorts of the dashboard and quality printing so that our manaers can function beyond the dashboard with the information. We think Power BI is an exceptional tool with many restrictions. Exporting with many different formats would be extremely helpful.
