Q: I really like the Data Stories feature but one question we get asked is “how can this be exported to a PowerPoint deck?” Is there a roadmap to provide this type of functionality?
A: You can make it as a powerpoint slide currently, but people have to log into QuickSight to access it. If you are asking the export outside of QS, we don’t have an ETA yet. Please keep in touch with your account team and ask for the roadmap ETA for this item. They will be able to provide one as soon as it’s available. But currently you can do it within the environment itself.
Q: We have a web application which our customers use. Can the QuickSight UI be accessed within our dashboard?
A: You can embed QuickSight within a container like iframe. So if you have a publication and even if you have dashboard visuals from some other BI tools, you can have it alongside by embedding QS in an iframe.io. Calculated fields doesn’t use computations, so the the output from those computations you can’t use in the same way in calculated fields, it relies more on the underlying data, data sets and then you can use, but it does use it.
