Power BI Addin Charts not Loading in Powerpoint when exported to PDF w/ Power Automate

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 5
I have created a flow that converts PowerPoint files containing live Power BI add-in charts into PDFs. The issue I’m encountering is that the charts are not fully loaded when exported to the PDF. Instead, I only see placeholders or incomplete charts.

I’ve tried adding delays to the flow to give the charts time to load before the export, but this hasn't resolved the issue. My current workaround is to manually open the PowerPoint, load the charts, and then export to PDF manually.

Has anyone successfully managed to automate this process and ensure the Power BI add-in charts are fully loaded in the PDF? I would appreciate any insights or alternative solutions.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing the incomplete chart after the Power Automate export.

    Hi
     
    I am 100% certain I have read someone else having the same issue and that they had to open them manually and load the data. I do not recall them having a solution and off the top of my head I dont have one, unless you can use PAD to open it, reload the data and then save it back, but that seems counterintuitive to what you want.
