I see that ArcGIS for Excel and Sharepoint both have spatial aggregation, but is this possible (or coming to) ArcGIS for PowerBI? The PowerBI documentation doesn't have it under the analysis topic.

Hi @GBacon ,

 

Thank you very much for your question! Could you please elaborate on how you plan to use the Spatial Aggregation feature in ArcGIS for Power BI and in Power BI? Understanding your intended use case will help us to understand how we implement this tool. Thank you!

I don't have a specific use case at the moment but the example below from this announcement seems like it would be useful to summarize point values within a polygon. I was using Insights for this in the past and it would be nice to have it in PowerBI since Insights is being retired. Thanks for checking in on this.

For example, imagine you are a city planner analyzing public parks. You have a point layer of park locations and a polygon layer of neighborhood boundaries. By using the spatial aggregation tool, you can count the number of parks and calculate the average park size in each neighborhood. This information helps you identify areas that need more parks or where existing parks might be too small, enabling data-driven urban planning decisions.
