ArcGIS for Power bi - zooms in too close

AlexL_QED — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 04:24:40 GMT

Since the latest update of the ArcGIS maps to Power bi pulgin, I have had issue filtering a single point. The automatic zoom takes it way too close that when I filter or select data for a single point in powerbi. Very annoying that I have to keep zooming out to show the context of the point.

Any help with this issue would be much appreciated. Perhaps allowing a zoom level to be set in the extension would help. I don't want to lock the extent.

It could be the basemap that is used is one of the raster tiled basemaps instead of vector basemaps. Try a different one and see if you're still seeing the no tile message.

I also think there's value in setting a zoom control to be farther out, but we'll have to explore how this would affect all the different scenarios customers have. I would consider logging this on the Idea's portion of the ArcGIS for Power BI community, so we can continue to collect information and use cases.

Cheers!

Thanks, Yeah have tried different base maps and all does the same thing. It previously didn't zoom so close and was really good. I am looking at a school site level so around 1:2000-5000. I will log this as an idea to be able to set the zoom level. In the interim it might be better to have it zoom to 1:500-1000, not 1:<100. Even for asset locations this is close enough to differentiate.

Thanks for the reply

I can't reproduce this within my reports, selecting data, or searching for a location.

Is this an older report that started working differently?

Have you tried to go in and change the basemap, to see if it happens with other basemaps?

@Anonymous User I am experiencing this same behavior on new and older published reports. Tried several basemaps. It happens when selecting a location from a slicer or another visual (table or matrix), but not when clicking on the location within the map or searching on an address/place.

Hi, please may i re-iterate the issue highlighted by the others users above. The zoom for a single point appears to be at the maximum possible. This didn't happen previously.

I have a similar issue except it is happening when a user uses the freeform address search input and it resolves to a specific street address. The client would like to be able to set a minimum zoom so that they would not need to zoom back out to see surrounding area centered on that point. Is this a related issue or by design?

Hey there @Llewellyn ! This looks like it is similar to the reported issues in this thread. I have made a note on this in our project. We are still working through a number of fixes and updates for our next release. I'll be sure to ping this thread when it has been resolved!

If I search for an address it zooms beyond feature layers i have brought in.
How can
A. We control the zoom level
... or ...
B. Make a feature layer Zoom all the way down (Yes - in ArcGIS online the layer zooms all the way down)

The issue still exists,

Created a map visualization in Power BI using ArcGIS – ESRI Maps, when searched for a specific address the map is zooming to the address level.

We would like to have a zoom level set to different level so that there is a context across the searched address.

Any update or solutions will be greatly appreciated.

Looks like this is still a bug. I am trying to just filter by County in California. When I select a single county it zooms into the centroid at full zoom, even though I have the location type as boundaries. With a Different Data Set it does not do a full zoom at the Zip Code Level.

Any Update to when this bug might be fixed?

Anthony,

It has been over a year since the last comment was made regarding the inability to set the default zoom scale for layers brought in by spreadsheet with long/lat. Is this something that is in active development?

Hi @AnthonyLatini,

Has there been any progress on this issue? It would be very helpful to be able to set the zoom extent to prevent the automatic zoom when filtering from going too far.

Thanks
