Limitations of Gemini for Looker Studio -> Slides
The new Gemini AI assistant can be useful for simple exports from Looker Studio to Slides. However, there are some important limitations.
-
Not designed for multiple clients or filters
If you have multiple clients or versions of a report, you must have a separate Slides file for each of them and update them individually. If you make style changes to the Slides, you must make the changes separately in each client report. -
There is no auto-update or scheduling
To update linked objects, you must open the Slides file and click Update. -
Making copies of the Slides is not simple
If you copy the slide deck, you can't easily change the dashboard or filter values for the the linked objects. You have to delete each linked object and re-insert it.
-
You can't link text or numeric values
Linking only applies to charts and tables, not text or calculated values such as those in scorecards. -
Updates overwrite the Slides
When linked objects are updated, the updates will override any changes that you made in the file. If you want to keep a copy of the previous version, be sure to make a copy before updating.
Why Slideform stands out
Built-in Filters
Set filters and date ranges from inside Slideform. Switch between clients, campaigns, and dates without touching the dashboard or report.
Designed for Agencies
Easily clone a report for a new client. Maintain a master template and mange the branding, format and layout in one place.
Scales to Your Needs

Advanced Features
Insert editable text into the slides with names, dates, and numbers. Also import images, and control slide visibility dynamically.
