Hi mlfornash ,

 

You can try this steps:

 

  1. Enable the shape map as described: Use Shape maps in Power BI Desktop (Preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

2.Check the ArcGIS fit your data or not: Create an ArcGIS map in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

You can do this by referring these documentations :

Power BI Census Map Guidance – Attadale Partners

ArcGIS for Power BI—ArcGIS for Power BI | Documentation

 

Hope this helps you.

thanks for the response but this was not helpful at all. I have arcgis and it does not show how to map census tracts nor have I had any luck map census tracts with it.  I have shape maps in powerbi but that does not work either. I am not sure what the link to attadale partners is? is there no clear instructions for doing this?
