Thanks for your feedback and comments requesting the ability to use private organizational content in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. This IS something we plan to bring to the visual, likely in 2018.

Thanks for the update Christy. We have been concerned about memory usage for a while, and we have been working on re-writing the way the map retrieves and stores features to better address memory consumption issues. I don't have an ETA to announce for when this might be available, but we're hoping to include this in one of our next several releases.

Quick update for you - our engineering team has confirmed this is a bug and we've logged it. As soon as we can find a fix we will include it in a future release. Thanks for letting us know about this issue!

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 - another great suggestion. I'll take this back to the team as well.

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?

‎09-20-2017

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.
