  • Article

APPLIES TO: Power BI Report Builder Power BI Desktop

After you add a map to a Power BI paginated report, you can add your own point locations.

Display properties for all points on a layer are controlled by setting options for the point properties for the layer. For a selected embedded point, you can override the display properties.

Note

When you override the layer display properties for the embedded point, the changes that you make are not reversible.

For more information, see Vary Polygon, Line, and Point Display by Rules and Analytical Data (Power BI Report Builder).

Add a point layer

  1. On the report design surface, select the map to select it and display the Map pane.

  2. On the toolbar, select Add Layer.

  3. From the drop-down list, select Add Point Layer. A point layer with no points is added to the map. By default, the point layer is ready for embedded points.

Add a custom point
