Output Alteryx Map on top of image in PowerPoint

Hello all,

I am trying to set up for a map image and icons to align as a PPT output in Alteryx. In the screenshot below, I cannot figure out in Alteryx how to remove the background and just keep the icons that I have chosen in my workflow. I know there are probably multiple ways to approach this, creating a PPT default template, etc. To give some context, the image of the map will remain static, but the icons will change and be updated in my workflow, daily.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

JAF

I was able to find a solution by mutli-joining the two layers and placing a Visual Layout tool for making adjustments to placement.

Within the visual layout tool, I was able to change the placement until it aligned. To get it to align, while testing I added province borders to the icon layer and then removed them for the final product:

I know this doesn’t necessarily help but my advice would be to talk with your stakeholders about using one of the standard base maps available in the report map tool rather than trying to hack this together.

They may be willing to budge.

Thanks for your reply/suggestion. The client doesn't like any of the available maps, as there are many province names missing. The PNG image provides all critical province names.

Separate from that issue, it appears when I render a PowerPoint, it asks to be repaired and doesn't just open normally...
