How to use Datama Light in PowerPoint
Using Datama Solutions in PowerPoint is a great way to keep your analyses interactive inside presentations—without freezing charts as static images.
Datama for PowerPoint is available as a free Office add-in (HTML viewer by Datama). It complements the existing Datama extensions (Compare, Detect, Assess and Explore): export your analysis as HTML from those hosts, then bring it into a slide.
The visualization stays interactive in edit mode and in presentation mode, with the same reactivity as in the source extension—except that the dataset is fixed at the time of the HTML export.
Beyond Datama exports, you can also load any custom HTML file (or paste HTML via Custom code). The add-in displays it in a sandboxed viewer on your slide—useful for interactive widgets, embedded charts, or any self-contained HTML content you want to present live.
Here are the currently supported Datama solutions, and related documentation.
- Datama Compare: Explain variations through dynamic waterfall and KPI tree

- Datama Detect: Detect anomalies in trend lines
- Datama Assess: Assess statistical significance of variations
- Datama Explore: Granular KPI breakdown
PowerPoint is a good fit when you want to:
- present Datama insights live without switching back to a BI tool
- keep charts interactive during a slideshow (zoom, drill-down, filters)
- reuse analyses already built in Looker Studio, Tableau, Qlik, Excel, or Google Sheets™
To go further, open the PowerPoint solution documentation to learn how to install the add-in, export HTML from another Datama extension, and import it into your slides.
