Time is too valuable to waste it on screen clipping and low-quality copy-pasted images. Power BI Tiles Pro has a new desktop version with much cooler features that will allow you to embed your Power BI Visuals in seconds, and become more agile and productive. In order to stop wasting your valuable time, simply open your favorite Microsoft Office product (Outlook, Word or PowerPoint), log in and navigate thru Power BI directly from Office, embedding your or your team’s dashboard and reports. Yes, it is astonishingly simple!

Why is this app so cool?

Power BI Tiles Pro is so great because it removes the need to take snapshots of your visualizations and update your documents before an important meeting or presentation.
