Connecting to PowerPoint

Submitted by Advocate V on ‎07-12-2016 08:10 AM

I think it'd be great if PowerApps could connect to PowerPoint, and you could import existing slides into an app. 

 

For example, to put content into a PDF Viewer, I'm currently creating slides in PowerPoint, converting them to PDF, and uploading them that way. This adds extra headache when I update something in the PowerPoint because I have to create a new PDF. It would be great to be able to "refresh" the PowerPoint data source, similar to what you can do if you update information in an Excel table that's connected to an app, rather than having to create new PDFs every time I make a small change to the content.

Yes count me on this one. We need it because we would like to create some sheets on powerpoint and create an app that can dynamicaly browse and or organise/filter/search/thematise those sheets. Once you choose one, just being able to read/play it.

Yes, this would be awesome. 

 

I have ppt-chartbooks connected to an excel sheet with bberg data, and i would love to share multiple ppt's with my colleagues via a shareopint app that allows picking a ppt, and then browsing through it.

This would be great! Browsing a presentation using either PowerPoint or Sway within a PowerApps app would be useful.

I would love to be able to Create interactive aspects of the PPT such as having the students perform the practical application of a lesson, to rate the period of instruction, or to take a quiz.

It would also be good if you could export data from Powerapps to PowerPoint, not just import data. That's a current requirement from my team I haven't been able to do.

We need this for a company wide presentation. Would be good to have this import funktion and make the app more interactive than the ppt. 

 

The presentation collects differnt data from differnet sources, such as Excel or sharpoint lists. If i change a value, the presentation will be updated automaticly (ex. prices).

This would be very useful for an app that explains the process in real time via pptx slides.

Looks like has been under review for a while, @archanan
