ArcGIS Maps for Power BI (Preview) Discussion
Helper Imwschepers - thank you for using the visual and providing some really great feedback around what you'd like to see in the future. As I'm sure you've noticed, we iterate quickly and roll out new functionality and bug fixes nearly monthly. We will evaluate your enhancement requests and determine which can be incorporated into our near term and long term roadmap. As we dig into these issues we may need to reach out to more clearly understand your use case.
One thing I did want to mention, regarding your highest priority - are you aware that you can get pie charts when using categorical data right now? It's a part of clustering. Take a look at this gif and let me know how close it is to what you're looking for: http://imgur.com/trpY69E
Advocate Iscottball: Thanks for your message. Good to hear that you are seriously taking the suggestions into consideration!
Regarding your remark on the clustering function: This is a little bit what I'm aiming for, since it involves the pie charts with category colors. What I miss is:
- The clustering view radius has a minimum of 5 px, so it will cluster locations which are near to each other. It would be good to have the option to lower this radius so that it only clusters categories which overlap on exactly the same location.
- The pie segments should be proportional to the quantity of each category. Now they are divided equally.
- The size of the total pie should represent the total quantity. Preferrably be equal to the size of another location with the same (total) quantity.
Note that this functionality is exactly equal to what the built-in map visual of PBI provides. Also the custom visual "flow map" contains a similar feature. Because the Esri visual is much better in many other respects, I would really appreciate if it can be included.
Looking forward to your reply, feel free to contact me directly to exchange more details.

I woudl second the ideas that mwschepers has put forward. Some of these are very much in line with some of our requests for a map legend and some of the other features. The pie charts working in line with the Microsoft mpping visual would certainly also be our preference. Also the drill down ability that the Microsoft visuals have would also be highly desirable. This should be able to be achieved with changes the Microsoft are making so hopefully this will feed through to the Esri visual.
