Using what3words in Power BI

[maurcoll]

Good Morning

Does anyone know if i can use the what3words location in a power bi mapping visual other than ArcGis

I don't believe so. I think you would need a translation table that does a conversion to lat/long. Maybe there is an API you can call from Power BI, or you can use a Spark notebook to ingest (what3words), convert and export (lat/long) your location data and use the result in your Power BI model.

I just found this Power Automate connector as well that can be useful, if you prefer that approach as opposed to Spark:
