Hey Guys,

 

what's the reason for this limit (1500)? Because preview version or smth else?

Is it going to be upgrade? awesome tool but useless now :(

The 1,500 limitation is something Esri needed to put in place because the cost of street address geo-coding is non-trivial. If you provide a lat-long, you'll see the ArcGIS Map for Power BI shows more than 1,500 data points. The 1,500 data point limitation only applies to street address geo-coding - so if you specify things like place names (cities, counties, postal codes) the limit won't apply. We're working with Esri to enable you to sign-in to ArcGIS Online, which will allow you to view more than 1,500 data points on the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI.

    That makes sense and this all sounds great.  Looking forward to updates and embedded capabilities.  Very disruptive to status quo...in a really good way.

    thx for reply, i know about different limitations with different arguments (location, lat/long) and i tried to use both of them, but there is a little problem (for me ofc :)) that when i use lat/long (declared limit 30,000 by ArcGis) i cant make map with boundaries (states/regions)... :smileysad: am i wrong?

      You can definitely do boundaries - the boundaries are for standard geographies like countries, states/provinces, postal codes, cities. You need to put a value in the Location field, then go into full screen edit mode (the on visual pencil icon in upper right hand corner), go to Location Type and select "Boundaries". If you want to use custom boundaries then you should use the ShapeMap visual that Power BI provides.

        Yeap, you're right if we are talking about Location but not for Lat/Long, so:

        1. Location - can do boundaries but the limit (1,500)...
        2. Long/lat - nice limit (30,000) but can't do boundaries

        that's what i'm talking about :smileyhappy:

         

        Shape map has some issues, but this is another story :D
