PowerPoint, PowerView, PowerPivot

  • Question :

    I have created a Power Point presentation that uses a Power View view as one of the slides (has the Interact button).

    The question is : How portable is the presentation? Does the powerPivot workbook need to follow it around?

  • You need to have a working connection to the SharePoint library where your PowerPivot workbook is stored.

  • Ok. Is there anyway to simply package the PowerPivot document with the PPT presentation (cut the need for a SP connection out of the loop?)

  • No. A working internet connection should suffice if the library is reachable from an external network.

    Imagine you were using a Tabular server instead of PowerPivot with a total size of 25 Gigabyte. That would be quite some PowerPoint presentation 🙂

    Packaging the data within PowerPoint would blow up the size and would need it's own SSAS database integrated.

    edit: I can imagine one of the reasons for this is also because Power View export to PowerPoint is a SharePoint-only feature.
