Export reports to Microsoft Office
PowerPoint
There is another cool feature that you can use with Power View reports created in
SharePoint: you can export the reports to PowerPoint (note that this does not work
with reports created in Excel). When exporting, each view in Power View becomes a
separate Silverlight control in its own PowerPoint slide. To export and view within
PowerPoint, follow these steps:
1.
Save the Power View report as you can't export an unsaved report.
2.
Click on
Export to PowerPoint
in the
File
menu (see the following screenshot).
3.
Save the new PowerPoint presentation.
4.
Open the saved presentation in PowerPoint. You will see a static image of
each view in Power View that is centered on a separate slide.
5.
At the lower-right corner of PowerPoint, click on
Reading View
or
Slide Show
.
6.
In the lower-right corner of the PowerPoint slide, click to load the live Power
View report from the SharePoint server. You can then interact with it.
Exporting to PowerPoint
The PowerPoint presentation will be an interactive report, not just a static snapshot,
as long as it can access the Power View report on the SharePoint server. This means
you can filter and slice and dice the report. When you update and save the Power
View report in SharePoint, the next time you view the PowerPoint slide, you will see
the updates to the Power View report. Exporting to PowerPoint requires the
Open
Items
SharePoint permission.
