PowerBI Lines and Shapes

[JohnConnor00]

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is there capability to have line assets and shapes in PowerBI? For example, we have lots of Power Lines and Poles.

@JohnConnor00 - Hello there! Apologies for the delay in responding to this inquiry. 

Yes! This is possible to do by adding a data field to the Location field well that contains EsriJSON. Once it has been added, it should render properly on the map. Please see the example below of a map containing polylines.

In your map it looks like you dropped the shape field into the Location field. My colleague tried this and got nothing. What do you mean by EsriJSON and how do I create this?

Thanks,
