Changing Report POV in PowerPoint

You can change the POV in a fully formatted report in PowerPoint to view data for different members.

Editing the POV reloads the formatted report in the slides.

To change the POV in an inserted report in PowerPoint:

1. Insert the report.

   If previewing POV is enabled in user preferences and the Select POV dialog box appears while you are inserting the report, continue with step 3. If you have already inserted the report and now want to edit the POV, continue with step 2.

2. In the Smart View ribbon, click Edit POV.
3. In the Select POV dialog, use the drop-down arrow in each field to locate drop-down lists indicating that the dimension POV can be changed.
4. If the drop-down list contains a fixed list of options, select an option from the list.
5. If the drop-down list contains the ... option:
   1. Click ... to open the Member Selection dialog box.
   2. In the left pane of the Member Selection dialog, expand the members where necessary, then select one member and click to move it to the right pane, and then click OK to return to the Select POV dialog.

      Note:

      • Be sure to choose only one member in the Member Selection dialog box.
      • Only one member from the current dimension can be selected at a time. To select a member from a different dimension, you must exit Member Selection and then choose ... from the drop-down list of a different dimension in the Select POV dialog box.
      • The designer of your report specifies during POV definition whether the drop-down list is static or contains a ... option indicating that member selection is allowed for the POV (described in Defining the Grid Point of View in the Designing with Reports).
6. After making your selections to the dimensions you require in the Select POV dialog box, click OK, taking the newly selected members as your POV selections.

   The formatted report is reloaded using the updated POV.
