Hi srujan9292,
If you want only to show these slides as images, you should try to embed these slides as html object in a dashboard, or transform them in jpg and insert in an html tag.
I don't understand what you mean with "generate Trends and Analysis out of it"?
Bye.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to extract data from PPT and work on the extracted data.
"generate Trends and Analysis out of it" - It means can the data be used in the same format as in CSV file.

Splunk has no integrated office doc parsing and extraction method. You need to extract the data and submit it using another method.
