ArcGis Map Image Layer join layer

I've imported a ArcGis Map Image layer which contains polygons. I understand that Power Bi currently does not support polygons, however, it can display the polygons. I also connected the same data used to create said polygons to create a connection between the map and the data inorder to be able to filter my dashboard. I found the centroid point for each polygon and would like to filter my dashboard based on these polygon's centroid points. The problem I am having is that I am unable to connect the data to the map in Join Layer or Find Similar. How can I accomplish a successful connection between my data and the map? Thank you!

To successfully connect your data with the ArcGIS map in Power BI, where polygons are displayed and centroid points are used for filtering, follow these steps:

1. **Ensure Matching Data**: Verify that the centroid coordinates (longitude and latitude) for each polygon are accurately present in both your dataset and map.
2. **Create a Join**: Use a common field (e.g., polygon ID or centroid coordinates) to join the data and map layer.
3. **Use Map Visuals**: In Power BI, select a map visual to reflect the centroid points and link them to your dashboard filters.

This should help in establishing the connection.
