[Qgis-user] How can I export Vector & Raster layers together to import into mapshaper

[Kris Lagocki]

I think everything that I want to do can be accomplished using the ArcGIS
visual within Power BI but then the shape file I created needs to be put
onto their server as a public map and also I would need to buy a license
for their product.  UGH.
