Similar parameter loop feature for power point extensible document as in report books?

I am using powerpoint xfdoc to pull CV using alt text. This cube view had 3 parameters, each with 2 or 3 values. The ask is to pull each combination of those parameter on a different slide of the ppt...

I'm not good at Extensible Docs, but the way you describe this problem, it sounds like something you could maybe execute with Data Adapters of type Cube View MD. They have Loop Parameters that you can specify, to do that sort of looping of a given Cube View over lists of members for up to 2 dimensions. You would then have to redisplay the data though, using a Grid View or some Chart, on a Dashboard.

    Thanks Jack, I think the Cube View MD data adaptors will populate all results from looping parameters on the same table, then I need to find a way to split the results into CVs again to display on the final report, which takes me back to point 0. I will let you know if I find something. 

    But now I am running into a bug using multiple CVs or charts on the same extensible document, seems like even if I set the correct Alt text to point to different CVs, I only get one CV on the output!!
