Question
Monday, October 27, 2014 9:11 PM
I have seen similar questions before, but many updates has happened for Power Map from last year when that question was asked. So sure if it is still the same situation.
Basically, I installed Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus, I enabled Power Pivot, Power View and Power Map, all of them are shown as active under "Excel Options" after you open "File"-"Options"-"Add-Ins". But only Power Pivot and Power View is shown in the Ribbon. Power Map is supposed to show under "Insert"-"Tours", just next to "Power View"(Please see example). It is NOT there.
I tried uninstall Office and Install it again. I also checked that it is the most recent version (as now 15.0.4659.1001), I checked LoadBehavior in Registry Editor, the value is 3. But I do find that for Power Pivot and Power View, there are four values((Default), Description, FriendlyName, LoadBehavior), for Power Map, there are only two ((Default), LoadBehavior). However I tried to create (Description, FriendlyName) for Power Map in Registry Editor, it's still not working. I later tried to use repair office from "Control Pannel"-"Programs and Features" it's still not working.
I might be Rookie on Power Map and there might already be solutions widely known among profesionals. I really appreciate if professionals can help me to fix that. Considering I spend much more money just to get functions of Power Map addins. if this is truely a bug in Map Power, I hope Microsoft would be awared of this.
Thank you

Hi,
Since you have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 installed in your PC, you need download and use the Power Map Preview for Excel 2013 as an unsupported add-in.

A new preview version that replaces the earlier preview is available on the Download Center page. The earlier version of the Power Map Preview is expired, and won't work with any version of Excel. If you have the earlier version, uninstall it from Control Panel, then download and install the current version of the Power Map Preview.

It's recommended to download and install Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office programs.
