I have a request to export a report or possibly a dashboard to Microsoft PowerPoint.  Has any successfully been able to accomplish this within ServceNow?

I don't think you can export it to Powerpoint. You either need to take screenshots and paste it to the powerpoint or export the dashboard to PDF.

Hi @bekfro ,

 

the short answer is, that it’s not a possibility. You can export a graph from report designer as a picture but not as an ppt.

 

if my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.

 

Best regards

Hi @bekfro ,

 

ServiceNow doesn't have a built-in feature specifically for exporting reports or dashboards directly to Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) format. However, you can achieve this by taking an indirect approach, exporting the data from ServiceNow, and then importing it into PowerPoint manually or using a script.

Here's a general approach you can follow:

  1. Export Data from ServiceNow:

    • Run the report in ServiceNow to generate the data you want to include in the PowerPoint presentation.
    • Use the export functionality in ServiceNow (e.g., CSV, Excel) to download the data.

  2. Prepare Data in Excel:

    • Open the exported data in Microsoft Excel.
    • Organize and format the data as needed for your PowerPoint presentation.

  3. Create PowerPoint Slides:

    • Open Microsoft PowerPoint and create a new presentation.
    • Copy and paste the data from Excel into PowerPoint slides.
    • Format the slides and add any additional content or visual elements.

  4. Automation (Optional):

    • If you need to automate this process, you can consider using tools like Python with libraries such as pandas and python-pptx. This would involve writing a script to read the exported data, format it, and then generate PowerPoint slides.

Please note that the availability of features and integrations can change over time, and there may be new features or third-party applications available in ServiceNow or the ServiceNow Store that address this need more directly.

 

Mark as accepted solution & HIT helpful if it suffices your requirement.


Thanks, Sohith
