RE: MS Word integration in PowerBI

I hope this idea came across properly. A visual would tell the story better, for example a field might have 135 characters in it, so when you export to excel all those are in one cell, but if we could export to Word, the presentation would be much better, thanks much.

RE: MS Word integration in PowerBI

I have a PBI report using a Word Cloud and narratives from an Excel file. The Word Cloud has about 15 categories and is interactive with Narratives showing explanations for the items in my Word Cloud. So when users want to download the narratives for a specific word, it loads into one cell in Excel which makes presentation of the data difficult to read. Some of the narratives are over 100 words so when it shows up in a cell, it is a problem.

Agreed. Word integration would get us closer to something like a markdown document.

RE: MS Word integration in PowerBI

I also agree, this would be an excellent function - it seems quite constrained that you can only export to Powerpoint.

I would also like the ability to save as PDF

RE: MS Word integration in PowerBI

I agree, this would really allow me to maximize PowerBI. I want to share with schools their student achievement levels in using our online learning system.
