Hi Rasmus and Yoav! We think we might know what caused the issue, and we're in the process of investigating and getting a fix in place. In the interim, can you please confirm the following to be true: Reports created in previous versions of ArcGIS Maps for Power BI do not now show their old base maps correctly. You can sign in and add those base maps, but... When you save and exit and reload the report, it reverts back to an Esri default base map. If that is the behavior, we think we might have it figured out and hopefully we'll have it fixed shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience! Josh

Hi Amber, Running through your questions one by one: 1. Will I need ArcGIS Plus to retrieve basemap info/layers into PowerBI that I have create and shared from ArcGIS online? This needs to be a bit of a nuanced answer, since you asked about both basemaps and layers. Regarding base maps, you will need to sign in to your ArcGIS Online organization in Maps for Power BI in order to view organizational base maps. If signed in to an ArcGIS Online account, you will also get access to all "Plus Subscription" features automatically including the additional "core" base maps that would normally come with that type of subscription. If you have created and shared Feature services publicly using ArcGIS Online, then you can consume those layers as a reference layer directly in Maps for Power BI without signing in at all as long as they are feature services with a single layer. If you have published and shared them privately within your ArcGIS Online organization, then you can sign in to Maps for Power BI and consume the layers. In this case, any subsequent report consumer would also need to sign into an organizational account which has permissions to view the private service, unless it is shared publicly. 2. If I create data in ArcGIS online to later use in PowerBI, will my ArcGIS license (licensed as ArcGIS Desktop) need to be basic, standard, or advanced? Your ArcGIS Desktop license is unrelated to ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. As long as you can publish your Feature service to ArcGIS Online and sign in to an ArcGIS Online account that has permission to view that service, you can consume it from ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. There is no current connection between ArcGIS Desktop (or Pro) and Power BI. Please let me know if I missed the intent of this question! Thanks, Josh Jones Lead Product Engineer, Microsoft Integration, Esri

Hey Carol, I'd like to make sure I understand your workflow here. You say that you're "sharing Power BI files online" - do you mean you're authoring something in PBI Desktop, then consuming it in the cloud, trying to publish a report to the web, or something else that I'm not thinking of? My next question is - does this happen in other browsers than IE? If you're authoring something in Desktop and then it hangs like this when you try to open it in the cloud, that's not expected behavior. We would need to get more info about your specific dataset (or a representative sample) to troubleshoot it. Josh

Hi Jimmy, My name is Josh Jones and I'm the Lead Product Engineer for Microsoft integrations at Esri. I noticed that you posted this in the "ArcGIS Maps for Power BI" community. Did you have a question related to that product as well? Specific to your question, Esri Maps for Microstrategy was placed into a retired status on February 1st 2019, and unfortunately we are unable to offer support for the product at this time as a result. Details on the current support status can be found here: Esri Support Esri Maps for MicroStrategy 3.0 If there are workflows in your organization which rely upon Esri Maps for MicroStrategy, I'd be happy to connect with an account manager who can help you find alternatives. Thanks, Josh

Hey Chris, I can't comment on the " non-licensed PowerBI desktop" piece, but as far as ArcGIS Maps for Power BI, there are a few different sets of limits depending on how you're using the software: If you are putting addresses on the map which require geocoding (i.e. "380 New York St., Redlands, CA") there is a limit of 1500 points. With a Plus subscription, this goes up to 5000 points. I f your points are expressed as lat/longs, you can put up to 30,000 points on the map with both the free version of the visual and the Plus subscription. Hope this helps - let me know if you have other questions! Josh

Hey Mark, The layout I proposed above fits with what you describe - dynamic drilling locations (data sources from PowerBI) and static branch location data (data sources from your ArcGIS Online layer) as long as you're okay with the branches being represented as polygons similar to what I described above. The use case that I pasted a picture from above was showing store stock overlain with polygons representing distribution center territories - not exactly the same, but a similar type of use case. To answer your second question, no, you don't necessarily need to have an ArcGIS Online subscription for all of your viewers as long as you are willing to publish the reference layer (i.e. the branch location polygons, not the dynamic drilling location data) publicly. If you want those polygons shared only privately, that does require each person to sign into an ArcGIS Online account. Hope this makes sense, but if not of course feel free to ask any additional questions! Josh

Hey Øystein, First up, here's a fixed version of the link Anthony provided that will be accessible externally: Change the symbol style—ArcGIS Maps for Power BI | ArcGIS I'd like to get some perspective on what you mean by "proportional" in this context. My guess is this - the points are scaling based on the image that you pasted above, but a point that has a value of "100" is not 100 times larger than a point that has a value of "1". Is that what you mean? In case what I've written above is an accurate representation of the issue, I'm going to tag in Alagiri Venkatachalto this post as well so that he can comment on the way that scaling is handled for points, since I don't know if there is an option to scale them at exactly relative sizes.

Here's the doc Alagiri's referring to: Clear browser local storage—ArcGIS Maps for Power BI | ArcGIS

Hey Mark, Just wanted to add a little extra detail to Anthony's response above. If all of your data is lat-long based, you should be able to directly consume that as points by pushing that data into Power BI itself, then dropping it into the latitude longitude field wells on the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI visual. Sounds like you might already be doing that part. My belief is that you then want to put another layer on the map to show your branches in relation to the location of the drilling activity. The best way to do this would probably be to create polygons indicating the boundaries of those branches by using a custom reference layer. You can create this with an ArcGIS Online subscription, publish it as a Feature service, then consume it back in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. The end result would look something like this, with a set of polygons representing boundaries for each branch, and activity represented by points (or a heat map if that makes more sense): If you'd like, I can put you in touch with the sales team who should be able to set you up with a trial. Josh

Hi Steven, Sorry for the delayed reply. I wanted to touch on your question and address a few points. Not sure if I can give you a complete answer given the information above, but I can at least start: What I want to do is include a point reference layer with a boundary layer... Typically in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI, the points that you bring in would be based on the data that is coming from Power BI itself, and the boundary layer (polygons) would be a reference layer that you add in, as you would normally drive selection of points (and thus cross filter other visuals) by the reference layer's polygons. This work flow wouldn't work if your reference layer was constructed of points, since the selection would only be driven by those points from your data that were exactly coincident with the reference layer points. Since this isn't making sense to me, there's a good chance here that I'm not understanding your use case. Would you mind walking me through how you would use the point layer as a reference layer? I'd like to understand and see if that's something we should explore in the product. ... does a paid for online subscription actually allow me to share layers to Power BI ... Yes, if you have an ArcGIS Online subscription, you can author your own custom feature services with a single layer and then consume those feature services back in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. As an additional point here... ... share the file publicly (which I don't understand why it has to be public) ... The requirement to share your layer publicly is only the case if you do not have a private ArcGIS Online organization. As long as you're signed into your ArcGIS Online account in Maps for Power BI, your layers can be privately shared within your organization. Layers must be shared publicly if you aren't signed in since there is otherwise no way to reach those layers. ... another idea for future upgrades is to allow the visual to be used in the embed and publish to web functions. We're currently exploring this, as we've had this request from a number of people. ... my first tests indicate issues such as place and point labels aren't coming through. Feature services do need to be restricted to a single layer in order to be consumed in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. If you want to share a cop[y of the service that you're working with (or a representative example), I'd be happy to take a look and see if there's some reason that your labels aren't showing up. Thanks, Josh
