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.

        Just to be clear, are you running Power BI Desktop in a VM? Can you send a screenshot of the experience you get?

    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.

        Hi Anonymous I don't suppose there is anywhere that lists the items that cannot be mapped? I am using a summary query from our postcodes database that averages the lat and long for a postcode outcode in the uk so everything *should* geocoded correctly. Thanks

         

        ****Update: I tried round my lat and longs to 2 decimal places and found an additional 3 points in Orkney so now I only have 5 missing points but I can't find them! ****

    Hi Anonymous.  This is Imran from India. I am also facing the same issue which has been addressed by you before 5 Months when this Discussion had happened. You had mentioned that it is a Bug and has been fixed by Esri. Did they really fix the Bug? Even after deleting the Cache, The issue persists. Kindly look into this matter & let me know whether this bug has been fixed or not.
