Downloads

Please note that if you've installed Icon Map from Microsoft App Source, it will always use that version over the version downloaded here unless you're running Power BI Desktop in Developer Mode. App Source will be updated with a newer version of Icon Map soon. This is likely to be version 3.3.0 - yet to be released here.
