Power Bi (future) updates

TrondBrenden-Veisal — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 10:36:54 GMT

I’m currently working with Power BI and actively using the ArcGIS integration. We have a need to visualize map layers via WMS and WFS, and I’m wondering if there are any plans to support these layer types in future versions of ArcGIS for Power BI?

We’re aware that third-party visuals like Icon Map offer WMS support, but it would be extremely helpful to have this functionality directly within the ArcGIS visual.

Could you please let us know if this is something Esri is considering, or if there are any workarounds or upcoming features that might address this need?

Looking forward to your feedback!

Kind regards,

Silje

Hello,

You could try using the workaround of adding the WMS or WFS as an item in your ArcGIS Online content first. And then you can add this to your Power BI visual.

Hi @TrondBrenden-Veisal,

Thank you for your question! And thank you @LeslieUK for your help!

ArcGIS for Power BI supports web maps and WFS for ArcGIS users. You could add the layers from + ArcGIS data from Layers tool.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Hello @NaZhang_Esri and @LeslieUK ,

Thanks for your help, and apologies for the late response — I didn’t realize there had been updates to this thread. I’ve discovered that the government data sources I rely on are (for the most part) only available in WMS-format, so unfortunately I do need support for WMS.

Do any of you know if WMS support is planned for an upcoming release?

Thanks again for your assistance!

Kind regards, Trond
