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
This is what the dashboard is all about...
I want to project my dashboards on a big screen TV so each time (daily/weekly) I need to make screenshots manually and paste them one-by-one in PowerPoint. This is very time consuming.
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
When is this coming? You can't call yourself a professional BI tool without this
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
Agreed!
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
It's a very important feature for power bi desktop and please add pdf/powerpoint export function.
RE: export to PowerPoint via the power BI desktop only
Agree. Much needed feature.

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.
