ArcGIS Maps for Power BI (Preview) Discussion

Since we announced ArcGIS Maps for Power BI (Preview), we've been getting a lot of great questions and positive feedback.   Let's use this thread for a discussion of ArcGIS Maps for Power BI, inclu...

These maps are great. In the past, I've reverted to standard maps due to some issues, and I was excited to see ArcGIS maps go to GA.

 

However, one issue remains that seems to be a deal-breaker for me. Does anyone have a solution?

 

The field I have placed in the Color well is a percentage. On the Modeling tab (in Desktop) it's Format: Percentage and decimal points is 2. This works fine for coloring the areas, and shows properly in Tooltips - for values under 10%. But values 10% or greater do not show the high-order digit when I hover over the area. For example, 8.52% displays correctly, but 10.56% displays as "0.56%". Changing the decimal digits on the Modeling tab changes the number of digits after the decimal point correctly, but has no effect on the numbers to the left of the decimal point - and neither does anything else I've tried on that tab.

 

This is very misleading and inaccurate. Does anyone have a solution?

 

Thanks.

ESRI Symbol Colors BUG:  With ESRI maps going to general availability, I would like to again post a significant BUG with Symbol Colors.  It will most certainly surface early in general availability so I hope this is helpful.  This isn't a feature I'm looking for or some special map boundary conflating to get rid of line sharding or any such thing.  This is simple symbol colors.

Here's the scenario which is readily handled by standard PowerBi maps.  The example is hospitals but could be virtually any data with 500 possible colors (while showing a modest 20-30 at a time).

  • There are about 500 systems of hospitals in the US.
  • Most are geographically focused in a few contiguous states and have 5-25 facilities though there are some nationals.
  • Using a slicer to pick Massachusetts when the ESRI model colors have been "cleared" using revert to default, the systems show perfectly.  Each hospital in a system appears with the proper system color.  The map visually shows each system's footprint.
  • Then use the slicer to pick California while deselecting MA...and system colors max out--with Massachusetts colors retained in the color scheme--crowding out the California systems which all appear as the same grey.  NOT GOOD.

Here's a link to other posts I've made on this issue and I absolutely am able to send a model to replicate and will gladly send to any of the developers.

 

Let me know if I can be of additional help,

Tom
