Other than the Devscope Power BI addon which does not work the way I expected, Can Microsoft provide a POWER BI Add-on which allows us to insert or copy a particular visual into the word document? I'd like to copy paste a particular chart/graph from power BI web/desktop like we can copy graphs from Excel into Word. I tried to export the Power BI report into a powerpoint file but since we have over 15 pages in this PBI Report this was not allowed.

Surely Microsoft can provide this integration between their own products?

I have been using Snagit to copy-paste visuals into a 60 page report, and it's very time consuming. I would appreciate a quicker way to get these visuals into a report.

Its possible to use Powerbi visuals in Powerpoint and Excel but not in Word.
It would be great if that was possible

A functionality where we can link Microsoft Word with PowerBI. A way where any text we create in Word can immediately be copy/pasted into PowerBI and vice versa!

This way, it'll be easier to convert word reports into BI report and vice versa.

Hope you can look into this option.

Many thanks,

I feel one should able to export the PowerBI report in MS Word and report data should be refreshed once source data to be refreshed

This would be huge - I'm doing a market research report and need to merge graphs I've made in Power BI with long-form text in a proper word processor (text boxes in Power BI definitely don't count). My only solution currently is to screenshot them, or pay DevScope 100 euros a year to integrate between two pieces of flagship MSFT software.

This would allow so many more functions and users to leverage MS Power BI Datasets. It would be an amazing feature to add in.

In the construction industry it's very common for PM's to submit weekly reports that include both metrics and commentary. This may also include external client reports which often require a particular format, the client's logo, a map of the site etc.

I believe a Power BI Word Add-in would be ideal but please note for our use case this will also require the ability to set Filters so the correct Job #, Week Of etc. can be filtered and reported on. Thanks!

RE: Microsoft Word POWER BI Add-on

We need to export PBI reports into word to add and edit text to use as external reports.
