Power BI add-on Import Own Boundary Layers

[DonaldMarutaNHS]

When using PowerBI with the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI add-on, adding a dataset to the map allows the user to select the Map Layers, Location Type, Represent Locations as Boundaries, All Locations in One Country, United Kingdom. However the default options only include a limited number of layers. Would it be possible for extra layers to be added, either by ESRI, or allowing users to import their own boundary layers?

Hi @DonaldMarutaNHS,

Thanks very much for your ideas! In Power BI, there's only one Power BI data layer allowed to add to the map. This is a limitation/restriction in Power BI World not our visual. I believe you have already seen this in other Power BI maps. I'm not sure if you have ArcGIS accounts, if no, we provide 10 Demographics layers and  free ArcGIS feature layers for you to add to your map. If yes, you are able to add the layers from your own content, organization, groups etc. Please let me know if you have more questions! Thank you!
