Hey Peter - this isn't something that was directly addressed by the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI team. Maps for Power BI is built on top of the Esri JavaScript API, so as improvements are made to the JS API, Maps for Power BI gets better too. I suspect that is what happened here. I'm glad to hear the visual is now doing what you need!

Thanks for the feedback. We will work with our design team to see what can be done to help users see the current reference layer, view it's source content on ArcGIS. Thanks for your feedback on what's not working so well for you - it will help us make this a better product!

Hey Mike - you're not missing anything. It sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of the current situation. Currently we do not offer the ability to match Power BI business data attributes to ArcGIS reference layer attributes for mapping. It's definitely something we've heard a fair number of requests for, and we are evaluating this feature for inclusion on our roadmap. Thanks for adding your voice to the conversation!

Thanks for the suggestion that we provide a visual indication while the feature layer is loading - I will pass it along to the team and we will see what we can do.

Hey Michael - apologies for the long delay in reply. Notifications for new activity weren't coming to my inbox, but that's fixed now. Anyways, for point 1 - can you describe what you'd like to do in a bit more detail? Are you wanting to free-hand draw your own selection area on the map (instead of being limited to the rectangle-select like you currently are)? I just want to make sure I fully understand what you're trying to do.

Hi Roman - thanks for your comment. We are looking into future capabilities of the visual and we are constantly listening to customer feedback to help us build the right product. That being said, Microsoft Ignite is next week and there may be some interesting announcements... keep an eye on this space for news and official announcements.

I haven't seen this problem - are you still experiencing it? If so, can you share a PBIX file that we at Esri could use to reproduce the issue?

Hey Anton - thanks for passing that dataset over to us. I've confirmed that I can reproduce the problem and that you seem to have set up the visual correctly. I've passed this issue to our product development team so they can take a look and see what might be going on. We'll respond back here when we figure it out!

Hey Wes - thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you're (mostly) enjoying the visual! I think I know what's going on and I believe we have a fix on the way. When we detect that you're trying to map boundaries (like you are in the video above), we route the request to our geoenrichment services to look up the polygons. When we do so, we make use of the 'fuzzy search' option which allows us to have a higher match rate. For example, your data doesn't have to be perfect - for both "Canada" and "Cnaada" we would understand you're trying to get boundaries for Canada and we'd return the geometry for Canada. However this becomes a problem when you're matching based on areas with defined numeric values. If you're looking for ZIP code 92373, you don't want fuzzy search in that case - you want an exact match. And that's exactly what we're providing in the next update for our visual. In the coming weeks you'll notice a new option in the 'Location types' pane that allows you to force our visual to make an exact match. I believe this will fix the issue you are experiencing in the video above. Keep an eye out for it and let us know how it works for you once it rolls out!

Hi Yoav - thanks for checking out the visual, and I'm glad you're seeing the potential in using ArcGIS content and resources inside Power BI. We think there's a lot of potential there too! Unfortunately I can't comment on the roadmap. The things you are asking for are fairly common requests that we are hearing, and we are evaluating those requests continually. With regard to timing of updates - we provide new builds to Microsoft nearly every month, so the visual updates itself pretty often. In the past few months we've rolled out pins, drive times, and infographic cards via these monthly updates. We certainly have more planned, so keep an eye on this Geonet site to see when we announce new features.

Hi Frank - unfortunately we do not support custom geometry at this time. It is one of the number one requests I'm hearing, though, so we will absolutely be evaluating it for inclusion in the product roadmap.

Hi - thanks for your question! I've tested out your scenario and can reproduce it. A quick workaround to get the county of Valley, MT onto the map is to go into Edit mode (the ... menu in the top right of the map), go to the 'Location type' tool on the toolbar, and switch the location representation from 'Boundaries' to 'Points'. This will at least get "Valley, MT" showing up in the right place (at the expense of seeing the county boundary). We are working on refining the way the location field works with boundaries, and we should have some updates in the next few releases. As you might anticipate, it's challenging trying to interpret and match boundaries in a variety of formats, languages, and regions. We've tried a few fixes, but we find that sometimes those fixes break other things for other people and other datasets. Until we're confident we are making things better for everyone, we are continuing to research fixes and test them out behind closed doors. We appreciate your patience while we work to get it right!

ArcGIS Maps for Power BI brings the best parts of the ArcGIS platform together into one awesome package. When pieces of ArcGIS get better, the ArcGIS Maps visual that utilize those pieces get better too! That's exactly what happened last night when the ArcGIS world geocoding service updated - you now have better location matching in Power BI. What exactly got better? The update last night was to the world geocoding service, which is used to provide points when you use the Location field well. Geographic boundaries (like states, ZIP codes, and other areas) are provided by Esri geoenrichment services and were not affected by the update last night. What changes will I notice? You can now search for addresses in more countries than before. Previously the World Geocoding service boasted support for address-level geocoding in 109 countries. The list has expanded to an even more impressive 135 countries. We’ve also updated the reference data for most countries and added new authoritative address data sources for Australia (G-NAF) and Austria (BEV). We’ve enhanced the behind-the-scenes matching logic for better handling of poorly-formed address searches. Geocoding in the USA consistently yields high match rates, but your address database may include questionable addresses with misspellings or extra information that can’t be geocoded, such as person names. The enhanced service is capable of handling this type of incorrect information. Below are a few examples of how these improvements can boost geocoding match rates even higher. Our Defense and Intel users have always been able to easily search for MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) coordinates in ArcGIS Desktop. Unfortunately it wasn’t so simple to do the same in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. For the first time, you will be able to search for MGRS coordinates – along with postal codes, addresses, populated places, and points of interest. Additionally, you can now search for latitude/longitude coordinates in different formats, such as degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS), and can also find United State National Grid (USNG) coordinates (although we recommend you continue to use the Latitude and Longitude field wells when mapping coordinates). Another useful feature in the updated service is the ability to locate Point of Interest (POI) names. You may have tables that include both addresses and place names, and in the past when you tried to batch geocode them there were no matches for the place names. There’s no longer such a disconnect which means you can batch geocode addresses, postal codes, and POIs, or any combination of these in the same field. Keep an eye on the blogs here on the GeoNet site for the latest updates to ArcGIS and the ArcGIS Maps visual!
