Exporting multiple Features into one Geojson or Json file on ArcGIS

NguyenPhan

Hello!

I'm trying to exporting multiple features in one layer into a single Geojson or Json file to add as reference layer for Power BI but I only could do it for single feature (using Features into Json in Geoprocessing). Is anyone can help me how to solve this problem please? Or any suggestion of how we can import a reference layer of multiple features into Power BI is welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @NguyenPhan ,

Were you ever able to figure out a solution to this problem? Thank you.

Hi! Thanks for great recommendation! I'm still working on it. Will keep everyone posted if I can find a solution for this.

Hi, shame that I'm not Power BI user. However, as long as Power BI allows you to connect to ArcGIS online, you can prepare/publish your own basemap (with the legend/colours) in ArcGIS online and embed it to your PBI project. We use the same trick for other softwares/platforms as long as they support feature services from Arc online. Please share the outcome in case you find out. Thanks,

Thanks Lan Nguyen for the solution. This works out great when I could bring the faults and horizons onto the PBI. However, I could display them differently, in colors, to help the clients distinct them. Could you also suggest me if we can do this? Thanks in advance!

When you merge the selected features, it will create a multi-part feature/polygon. You can merge them under editing session or use Analysis/Merge which creates new feature class. The multipart polygon/feature is one object or record so it can only carry attribute(s) for one record. You cant have a multipart polygon that carries different attributes for different parts. If you just need the geometry of the selected features as reference layer in PBI then just export the multipart polygon to json.

Ok, so you want to convert multiple feature classes to a single JSON file. You would need to merge these feature classes into one feature class in order to do this.

Here it's showing a single feature when I use the dropdown. Wondering if there's a way I can group them into.

Or I have selected multiple features that I want on the map but I'm still trying to figure out how I can export them all into one json features. Is there a possible way that I can do this?

If it's a feature class, you should just have to execute the Features to JSON tool. Can you send a screen shot of how you are currently executing the tool?

NguyenPhan

I think it's Geodatabase Feature Class by looking at its properties, the client sent me the gdb package and I just unzipped and worked on it.

What type of features are you working with (i.e. shapefile, csv file)?

NguyenPhan

Hi Jake,

Thanks for your response! Could you also help me how to create a feature class from multiple selected features please?

Really appreciate it!

Hi Nguyen,

The Features to JSON tool should do this. Make sure that there are no features selected when you execute the tool. Or, browse to the feature class, rather than selecting it from the dropdown.
