Hello Debbie,    thank you for reaching out. ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI recently went through a GUI change that affected this workflow. Could you provide me with the version information of PowerBI Desktop you are using?    At this new release, you are now able to conduct analysis with a single pin. This is a significant change from the previous version of the software, more info on this can be found here: Pin a location—ArcGIS Maps for Power BI | Documentation    In short, to set new locations you must enter an address, keyword, or location to identify the pin. this was done to increase geographic consistency with your searches. Once this is done, you should be able to select the pinned location: Select locations on the map—ArcGIS Maps for Power BI | Documentation     Lastly for the radial analysis, you will need to use the Find Nearby function: Find nearby locations—ArcGIS Maps for Power BI | Documentation     I recognize that this is a drastic change to the way the visual previously looked. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will be happy to assist any way I can. ... View more

(Copying my reply from your other post for consistency) Hello Mustafa,    Thank you for reaching out! To add data to ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI, follow the steps in this documentation: Prepare your data To add data to ArcGIS Maps for Excel, follow the steps in this documentation: Add layers from Excel Depending on how you edit data in Maps for Office (Excel) i.e changing the value manually in the table, the data should update. This goes for PowerBI as well, although that is highly dependent on how the data is brought into PowerBI (if its brought in as a static table, then the dataset will not update, however if you bring it in as a database source it will update upon refresh).   For your last question, there is no way of converting a QGIS map into an ArcGIS Map to my knowledge. However you should be able to rebuild the map in  Pro by brining in the individual layers and rebuilding the symbology and other map properties from there. Hope that helps! ... View more

Hey Andy,    At the current iteration of ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI, there is no way to bring in a feature layer as an analysis layer. The only way to do so is as you said to connect the dataset via PowerBI. The only other options I could see is making the layer in question available publicly an importing the layer via web. Obviously this opens up the data for everyone who has the rest endpoint but that is an option. ... View more

Hello all,    At this point in time, embed to web has not been enabled for the ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI visual. We have logged an enhancement on this ENH-000130489: Add Publish to Web support to ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI visualizer in PowerBI Online, which has the current status of In product plan.    While I am unable to comment as to when this will be resolved, I am able to say that the product team is very much aware of this limitation, and is working diligently with Microsoft on a resolution. If you are able to do so, I would encourage you to log a case with Esri Tech support to add your account to this enhancement.  ... View more

Hello Clemens,    Although it prompts you for credentials, you should be able to use it without signing in. ... View more

Hello Clemens,    I am not sure what you mean: The standard license comes with all instances of PowerBI Desktop there isn't a trial required. ... View more

Hello Clemens,    The Standard license is included in all installations of ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI. No license is required to work with the plugin. If your goal is to use reference layers from your trial organization. I would suggest sharing those layers publicly which will enable you to use the layer as a reference layer in ArcGIS Maps for SharePoint. To my knowledge, the premium license is not included in the ArcGIS Online trial subscription at this time. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. ... View more

Hey there Ryan,    Interesting question! After some research, I found that the underlying REST service being used for the Drive Time Feature is the Service Area service with synchronous execution.    The Drive Time feature does not pass a time of day or a day for that matter, so the following stands true: If a time of day is not passed in, the service uses static road speeds based on average historical speeds or posted speed limits. It uses posted speeds in areas where historical traffic information isn't available. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions! ... View more

Good day to you!    Thank you for brining this to our attention. I opened the PBIX attached and confirmed that there is some latency upon opening and working with the application (specifically with the slicers). Without delving too much into it, I believe it may be with the volume of data you are attempting to process. Can you confirm the row count for this dataset?    As for the visual not loading, I did not run into this issue could you confirm that we are using the latest version of PowerBI? I am using the Aug 2020 release, and am not running into this issue. ... View more

For transparency, I am following up on how this case was resolved. After some testing I was able to confirm the following: This issue no longer occurs at Insights 2020.2 running Enterprise 10.8.1.  The issue does occur at Insights 3.4 on Enterprise 10.6.1 and have logged BUG-000133701: ArcGIS Insights displays records edited via Esri mobile applications (Survey123, Workforce, Collector) on Enterprise 10.6.1 as uniquely added items If your organization is running into this issue, I encourage you to log a defect with Esri Support to be added to the defect record in order to escalate its priority. ...

That is correct, time enabled maps are not supported in Insights. That being said, you are able to set up a scheduler in Insights 2020.2 running on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1. More info on this can be found here: Schedule updates for shared pages ... View more
