Power BI Map Visualisation

Hi,

 

I have made some maps in PowerBI - plotting locations onto a basemap.

 

I would like to use these maps in PowerPoint, and would like to export the image as separate vectors so that I can manipulate the basemap and the locations separately.

 

Is there a way to copy or export to, say, a metafile format that can be decomposed into its layer elements?

 

Thanks..

Hi @mdar ,

Based on your description, it seems like you want to get a map visual that you can manipulate, but if you use Export reports to PowerPoint or Copy a report visualization as an image, you will get a static image and you can't get a metafile to manipulate it.

Maybe you can consider using Analyze in excel to bring the dataset into excel. Then refer to the link below to create a map and see if it meets your needs later.

Create custom maps with Excel and Power Map

In addition, you can raise a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

@mdar , As far as I know, that will be an image. You have a download in ppt option in power bi service. And on the desktop, you can take screenshots.

Hi - thanks, what I absolutely don't want is screenshots. I want the different layers as different image elements... thanks!
