Missing "Show data point as a table" in Power BI Service for a map visual
Hi olpololya
Common causes for this issue can contains:
Measures vs columns : The option only works when the visual’s values (e.g. bubble size) are based on columns, not measures. If your map uses a measure for size/count, the Service will hide that option.
Export/data settings: Tenant admin can disable Export data / Show data as table for users.
Report setting “Allow end users to export summarize data” can also block it.
Could you please try to check :
In Desktop, check the map visual: If Size (or any value) is a measure, replace it with a column and republish.
In Desktop: File > Options > Current file > Report settings > ensure “Allow end users to export summarize data” is ON, then republish.
Or
Ask your admin to confirm tenant settings for Export data / Show data as table are enabled for your users.

Resolver IVAs far as I know, "Show data point as a table" isn't supported consistently across all visuals in the Power BI Service, even if it works in Power BI Desktop. The Service and Desktop don't always expose the same context menu options, especially for map visuals.
If this worked previously for the same report, it's worth checking whether anything changed recently (for example, the visual type, tenant settings, or a recent Service update). If nothing in the report has changed, it could also be a regression in the Power BI Service.
As a workaround, you could consider using Drillthrough, a tooltip page, or a table visual filtered by the map selection, depending on the user experience you're after.
I'm curious whether others can still reproduce this in the current Service version.
