How to refresh the contents of a PowerPoint file

Posted on by vpatel55

I have a PowerPoint presentation with pages containing Power BI objects. These update when I open the PowerPoint file. I would like a way of updating this automatically, without me having to open the PowerPoint beforehand. This is then converted into a PDF, and emailed.

Below is the flow, which works other than the fact that the Get file (PowerPoint file) gets a copy of the PowerPoint with stale objects within.

How can I get the objects embedded within a PowerPoint update via a flow? Ideally I want to avoid robotic process automation.

Thanks.

Hi @vpatel55

Unfortunately you can't do that currently with PA cloud flows (you could do it with PA Desktop). If you were using Excel you could use Office Scripts, but that option is not available yet in PowerPoint.

Hope it helps!
