Presentations integrated with Power BI
A dashboard built for analysis is not always built for presenting. Brahaus brings both together: your Power BI data inside a presentation with design, hierarchy and narrative.
When it makes sense
- Management meetings with KPIs that change every week
- Leadership that wants current data, not old screenshots
- Recurring reports that take hours to assemble
- Data teams that need to communicate better
What Brahaus delivers
- Dashboards designed with your brand identity
- Power BI integrated into PowerPoint
- An executive storyline built on the indicators
- A template that stays useful with every update
- Support from the Brahaus Technology practice on data solutions
How we implement the integration, step by step
Step 01
Data assessment
A meeting with the team that owns the KPIs and with IT. We map which reports go into the presentation, where the data comes from (ERP, CRM, spreadsheets, databases), how often it changes and who presents to whom.
Deliverable: Map of sources, KPIs and the audience of each meeting
Step 02
Licenses, access and refresh
We review the Power BI workspace, the license type (Pro, Premium or Fabric) and the permissions of everyone who will open the presentation. We set up scheduled dataset refresh and, for on-premises sources, the gateway.
Deliverable: Access and data refresh plan
Step 03
Model and presentation-grade pages
We adjust or build the data model and report pages in 16:9, with a Power BI theme using your brand colors and fonts. Each page answers one question of the meeting, without excess filters and visuals.
Deliverable: Power BI report with brand theme and slide-ready pages
Step 04
Executive storyline
We design the flow: opening, key indicators, analysis and decisions. Narrative slides go between data pages to explain context and what changed since the last meeting.
Deliverable: Approved presentation storyline
Step 05
PowerPoint integration
We insert report pages into slides with the Power BI add-in for PowerPoint, with the right filters and state for each slide. The rest of the deck gets the same design, so data and narrative feel like one piece.
Deliverable: .pptx file with live Power BI pages
Step 06
Refresh and permission tests
We open the presentation with real company users to validate access, loading and refreshed numbers. We also produce a static image version for people outside the company.
Deliverable: Test checklist and static fallback version
Step 07
Rollout and training
We deliver the presentation, the Power BI theme and a short maintenance guide. We train the team running the next meetings: how to refresh, change filters and add pages without breaking the design.
Deliverable: User guide and trained team
Step 08
Evolution
When new KPIs or meetings come up, the presentation grows from the same template. Brahaus can keep handling changes on demand or hand maintenance to your internal team.
Deliverable: New pages and KPIs on demand
What your company needs to provide
- Access to the Power BI workspace, or permission to create it
- The list of reports and KPIs that go into the meeting
- An IT contact for access, licenses and gateway
- Microsoft 365 with PowerPoint for presenters

Frequently asked questions
Does the data update inside the presentation?
With the Power BI integration for PowerPoint, report pages can be shown live in your slides, subject to your company Microsoft account permissions.
Can Brahaus also build the dashboard?
Yes. The Brahaus Technology practice builds data solutions, including Power BI dashboards.
Do viewers need a Power BI license?
To see live data, a person needs access to the report in Power BI. In companies without Premium or Fabric capacity, that usually means a Pro license per user. For people without access, we deliver a static version of the presentation.
Does it work with on-premises data or an ERP?
Yes. On-premises sources connect to Power BI through a data gateway with scheduled refresh. Brahaus designs this with your IT team during the assessment step.
How long does a presentation take?
The timeline is set in the proposal, based on the number of slides and the amount of content. For urgent requests, Brahaus delivers presentations in up to 24 hours.
Do I need to have the copy ready?
No. Brahaus writes the storyline and copy from the setup meeting and the materials you already have.
How many revision rounds are included?
Up to three revision rounds after the first version is delivered.
What format is the presentation delivered in?
A fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) file: your team can change text, images and every element.
