Hi I was wondering if anyone has any issues recently with plotting Lat/Longs on PowerBI desktop? 

 

I've been getting the hanging startup ESRI icon for the past 2 weeks.  I was wondring if anyone is experiencing the same?  I've tried to reduce my datapoint down to only 50 and have no luck.

I am using PowerBI desktop on an Azure VM (Win10)

 

thanks, PowerBI Web's ESRI component  is working fine if that helps.

    We've seen the stalled loading screen for Esri when Power BI Desktop's local browser cache is full. Esri has made a bug fix to address the issue and it's on it's way to production.

     

    In the meantime, to clear your cache, please try to delete files at this location: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\CEF to see if the issue persists. Remember to restart Power BI Desktop after you do this.

      does deleting the files here C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\CEF

       

      have the same effect as clearing the cache in the settings?

      clearning the CEF content worked!  Thanks! 

       

      I got this error on the bottom.  It appears on both desktop and web?  Do you know what this is? 

      Many Thanks!

        Yes, when you get "Failed to locate N features" it means N locations you specified were not geocoded and therefore are not shown on the map.

    Anonymous i have also had issues where it  is just blank and nothing happens.   However i have wondered if it related to memory.  Did you check to see how much memory you have available?  i often just end up going back to bing maps as it happens quite a lot.

      thx for your reply vanessafvg! 

       

      I was thinking the same too because initlally when it came out, memory was directly tied to how many lat/longs i can plot.   So I've had it normally sized in my Azure VM at 4 Core/ 28GBs  (DS12_V12) for around 6500 pts.   It was the best bang for the buck. 

       

      I tried to cleared the cache as well but no love.    i just downsized my VM to a 2 Core/14GB until they fix this.  

       

      Really like Cloud Computing.   Pay for what you need immediately.
