Power BI to PowerPoint/Word - Deploy the link to your users

Pre-requisites

Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium (per user or per capacity) versions for each user of the Power BI Link option.
Windows 10-11 and Microsoft Office 2016 or above.
UpSlide v6.5.13.2 or above with a Power BI to PowerPoint/Word feature.
Microsoft Edge.

Important

Your reports must be hosted on Microsoft Servers to be accessible by UpSlide. This feature won’t be available if you are using:

Power BI Desktop only, and thus do not publish any reports online.
Power BI Report Server (also called On-Premises).
Power BI Governance licenses.

Authorize access to Power BI through UpSlide

UpSlide needs the user’s consent for the Power BI to PowerPoint/Word feature to work. As an organization admin, you can grant all users consent to Power BI resources. Please follow all the steps this article explains: Power BI Integration - Grant consent to all users.

How does it work

UpSlide’s Power BI to PowerPoint/Word feature is powered by a web browser, Edge, which is embedded into UpSlide using a wrapper called Edge WebView2. UpSlide uses it to:

display Power BI reports,
take screenshots of visuals or report pages,
display some user interface components to provide a smoother experience.

Power BI visuals are inserted as a bitmap image in PowerPoint and Word.

Important

This feature does not require UpSlide to access your data, and UpSlide does not store the data displayed in PowerPoint/Word, meaning all your data remains within your organization.
