ArcGIS Maps for Power Bi join feature not working
Hi,
I am trying to use the join feature available in the ArcGIS Maps for Power Bi visual to connect data in my Power Bi report to data uploaded to our ArcGIS Online server. When I try doing the join it seems to work but once I try filtering the visual using a slicer the map doesn't respond it just keeps loading endlessly.
This video demonstrates what we would like to accomplish using the join feature: Join Your Data to ArcGIS Layers - YouTube
However, this is a video I recorded showing what happens when I try doing the join myself: https://vimeo.com/644026377/041bd3b6ac
Have others experienced issues with this feature?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, estud1os_113
Will the same problem occur on Power BI Desktop? Not sure if this is the problem caused by the version update and it is difficult to determine the specific reason. You can consult on the forum of ArcGIS Maps for Power BI.

ArcMap Online for Power Bi acts a little strange on the desktop version and sometimes gives me issues when I try to log in, but I got the visual to import the layer from the server on the desktop version. However, once I did the join I already had a slicer on and it initially worked and filtered the map correctly, but once I changed the slicer the map gave the same issue that it loads endlessly.
I will consult the forum you sent, thanks.
Best regards.
Adding this for anyone who stumbles here in future. I've been looking for an answer to this problem for days, and finally figured out that, firstly the visual element's interface appears to have been updated so some of the suggestions made prior to now don't seem to be relevant any more. Nobody suggested this anywhere, but I had to turn the 'analysis' option on for the join settings window to show up. Yes, finding an area out of several and joining to it is analysis it seems. The Arcgis pros in my org didn't think it was, but of course every time you link to one I guess its going to cost you a credit it seems.
