I'd REALLY love some way to automate the "data refresh" and 'export to video' or 'capture screenshot' functions in Excel's 3D maps via code. VBA, Macros, PowerShell, or something else; I'm not picky. Please provide a way to initiate these functions aside from manually opening the workbook, launching 3D maps, and pushing the button myself.

We should have way to refresh and start 3D Maps through VBA.

This is sorely missing from Power BI. Please add a way to put 3D maps in PBI

I agree, must have for non-technical audience.

This is a must have! It'd make Power Map even cooler!

Please add this functionality, it's essential for sharing 3D Map products with a non-technical audience (i.e., leadership).
