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- Power BI Desktop only, and thus do not publish any reports online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
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.
