Using Datama Detect in PowerPoint lets you present anomaly detection results interactively—without freezing charts as static screenshots.


1. Overview

Add HTML viewer by Datama to PowerPoint, then import a Datama Detect HTML export from another Datama extension. The add-in detects Detect automatically and renders the same interactive anomaly analysis you configured upstream.

The dataset is embedded in the HTML at export time, so the analysis stays self-contained in the presentation while remaining interactive in presentation mode.


2. Features

  • Identification of Anomalies: Find anomalies based on historical volatility with a customizable level of confidence.
  • Multiple KPIs monitoring: Based on your market equation, find anomalies across KPIs and correlate them with your North Star metric.
  • Customizable focus: Restrict anomalies to the latest point to get alerted only on the most recent changes.
  • KPI interest ranking: KPIs with the biggest anomalies are flagged first.
  • Smart title: Titles are written automatically; you can define their structure in the source extension.
  • Interactive charts: Explore anomalies live—also available during PowerPoint presentation mode.

3. Add the extension into PowerPoint

HTML viewer by Datama is an official PowerPoint Office add-in (Content App).

  1. Open PowerPoint.
  2. Go to Insert > Add-ins > More Add-ins.
  3. Search for HTML viewer by Datama (or Datama).
  4. Add the add-in to your presentation.
  5. Insert it on the slide where you want the interactive visualization.

If your Microsoft account and 365 subscription are managed at the organization level, you might need to involve your workspace administrator to install the add-in.

4. A free complement to Datama extensions

The PowerPoint add-in is completely free. There is no trial period and no separate licence for PowerPoint itself.

It comes as a complement to your existing Datama extensions: prepare and configure the analysis in your datavisualisation tool, or another supported host, then bring the interactive result into your slides.


5. Getting started

Once the add-in is on your slide, follow this workflow.

1. Build your Detect analysis in another Datama extension
Prepare your dataset and configure Datama Detect as usual in Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, or another supported host.
See for example Detect on Looker Studio.

2. Export as HTML (or custom code for Power BI)
In the Datama header of the source extension, click Download as HTML. This downloads a self-contained .html file or for Power BI copy the code in your clipboard with your data and configuration.

3. Import into PowerPoint
On the PowerPoint waiting screen, choose one of the two options:

  • File upload — select the exported .html file from your computer.
  • Custom code — open the panel, paste the HTML content from your clipboard, then click Apply.

4. Present interactively
The Detect visualization appears on the slide. It remains interactive in edit mode and in presentation / slideshow mode, with the same reactivity as in the source extension—with a fixed dataset based on the HTML export.


6. Edit options at the top of the add-in

Once content is loaded, hover the top of the add-in to reveal editing controls:

  • Edit HTML — opens the HTML editor so you can update the source code directly. Useful for more technical users who want to tweak or replace the embedded HTML without re-exporting from another tool.
  • Edit mode — turns on the full Datama editing experience (header and settings). From there you can adjust the analysis options, use the Save button to persist changes in the presentation, and open the link to the Datama documentation.
