Super UserHaving trouble getting edit controls for ArcGIS Maps
Hello all:I just starting to play around with the ArcGIS map. I have a very simple dataset (sample) with Sales Amount and Country Name (in two different tables). Seems all I can get out of it is a filled map where every country (that has sales) is filled with the same color. Isn't there supposed to be some edit capabilities inside the visual itself? (as opposed to the formatting pane as with other canned Power BI visuals) This is what I see:
The yellow button in the upper right corner allows me to "Connect to ArcGIS" (I am under the assumption, from all that I have read, that a ArcGIS 'Plus Subscription" is NOT required). But after logging in, I see a yellow banner at the bottom of the map that says, "Public accounts are not supported in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI".
What am I missing? Is something broken?
Thanks in advance.
BTW, this is on both the App store version and the dowloaded June MSI verions.
Click the elipsis, then select Edit.
DOH!
Hi ToddChitt,
For color different countries, you can drag country column to color fields to achieve this.
In addition, 'Connect to ArcGIS' feature is for esri plus subscription users, you can take a look at following link to know more about this feature.

Has this edit option since been removed? I've just started using Arc in PBI and only see these options...

Thanks, all, for the great suggestions, but REALLY, my question was more akin to "HOW DO YOU GET STARTED EDITING an Esri map?" With the emphasis on "GET STARTED"
I answered my own questions with, "Right-click on the elipsis, select Edit." Once I got that, everything else was easy. It just took me a while to find it as it is not the same as other Power BI Visuals.
You were all telling me how to drive the car, and I was asking where to put the key. :)
