Hey Nicholas, My name is Josh Jones, I'm the Lead Product Engineer on ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. This looks like it might be a use case we hadn't considered! I'll get a member of my team to take a look and see if this is something we can fix. Josh

Hi Edward, My name is Josh, and I'm the Lead Product Engineer for Esri's Microsoft integration products. We recently raised the ceiling to 30,000 points, as long as those points are already lat/longs. Based on the numbers you gave above, I'm going to assume that you are working with addresses (or another data type that has to be converted from a string to a location or "geocoded"). If that's the case then yes, the limit is considerably lower (1,500) for free users of the visual. Since you mention "Pro" access, I'm assuming that you're referring to PowerBI Pro, and I should point out that this is a separate product from a "Plus subscription" to ArcGIS Maps for Power BI (or signing in with an ArcGIS Online account). Purchasing Pro access from Microsoft does not include a subscription to Plus from Esri. Details on the Plus subscription can be found here: About Plus—ArcGIS Maps for Power BI | ArcGIS When signed in to the visual with a Plus account (or an ArcGIS Online account) the limit on geocodes is raised to 5,000. Again, however if you separately geocode your addresses then bring them into the report, you can have up to 30,000 points on the map. The location to sign in on the visual can be found in the top right corner of the visual, and it looks like this: Hope this helps, Josh

Hey Mark, We have two major focuses right now which are designed to increase adoption and usability. Beyond those two major focuses, we're continuing to push out bi-monthly releases with bug fixes - and we are actively watching Geonet looking for bigger ideas to add in as well. Our next bug fix release should be going live at the start of February, and we're currently finalizing testing. This release solves some little things like highlights staying on the map even when reference layers have been deleted, place markers being offset in certain instances, number formatting on histogram labels, and so on. More details will go into the doc site once the release is out, but it contains several usability bug fixes which should make the visual feel better to use. In terms of bigger 2019 goals: We are working on overhauling the UI drastically to bring the product more in line with other visuals in the PowerBI ecosystem. We would like to remove the need to enter "edit" mode as much as possible, since we believe it makes it harder to figure out how to use the visual. We're exploring ways to make that happen. We are working on ArcGIS Enterprise integration. This poses some unique challenges which we are working closely with Microsoft to solve. Again, we're looking to be more engaged with the community to understand what users want in terms of "big picture" plans. We do have to ensure that what we're doing fits into the overall product strategy and where our product lives in the bigger picture both of PowerBI and Esri, but if you have ideas, please post them here on Geonet! Thanks, Josh

It depends on your use case specifically and what you're looking to accomplish - Insights for ArcGIS is also an option if you're more heavily leaning toward the BI piece. It would probably be a good idea to have a chat with your Esri account manager to see if they can go through the options in detail with you.

Hi Gill, Apologies for the lack of an Esri response until now. My name is Josh and I'm the Lead Product Engineer for Esri's Microsoft Integration offerings. If I'm understanding your question correctly, you want to publish a service on ArcGIS Enterprise and then consume it in Maps for PowerBI, and you're questioning why you have to publish it to ArcGIS Online instead. You're correct in stating that at present we do not have the ability to connect from Maps for PowerBI into an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment due to a number of technical reasons (but principally because ArcGIS Maps for PowerBI lives within the Microsoft ecosystem, so reaching out to an arbitrary URL poses some challenges). We're actively engaged with Microsoft to figure out how to solve this, and we're working hard to try to get things fixed. I don't have a timeframe for you yet unfortunately, but we are working towards this as hard as we can. Josh

Hi Peter, Thanks for reaching out! I definitely understand the desire for this. At present, this is not currently on the road map for this product for 2019. We will however keep it in mind for the future. Thanks, Josh

Hi Muhammad, Thanks for reaching out. I'm the Lead Product Engineer for Microsoft Integration products here at Esri, and I wanted to get in touch to respond. We're very interested in figuring out performance issues, and this is one of our biggest focuses for 2019 - we are intending to switch some things around to drastically improve performance. That said, I'd like to make sure we're working from the same starting point. I loaded up your pbix on my computer here to check out the performance, and here's what it looks like when I'm panning and zooming around: If what you're seeing is worse than this, let me know. Part of the reason that this is loading fairly slowly is because of the sheer number of polygons on the map, particularly when showing the entirety of Canada. There is a limited amount that you're going to be able to do from your end to make this better (unless you split your data into subsets which only contain segments of the country), but we are working on mitigating this in the near future. Josh

I'm not seeing an image attached to the post - not sure what happened there. That said, I suspect that this layer might help answer your question: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=81d23ced573b4666bd0004c93fd9edfc This will show the boundaries on a map to see what each one looks like and shows statistical areas 1 - 4. For more fine grained definitions of the boundaries, the ABS has the best data: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) I'm going to also tag Lucy Guerra‌ and Chris Wilcox in this thread so that they can see it, to avoid me relaying things back and forth, or tag others as appropriate.

Thanks for the reminder - I didn't hear back from the content team. I'll reach out again today. The only info I got so far is that the boundaries are based on the 2016 Australia data from MB Research (Michael Bauer Research GmbH), released in June 2017. In turn, this is based on data from the Australian government collected in 2012. I'm asking to see if I can get more documentation surrounding the boundaries.

Got it - thanks for the clarification! I'm working with the content team right now to try to get an answer to what you're asking here, or at least some doc on it to provide guidance.
