I loaded a GIS table into BI. It's a table for a line feature class (pipes). The shape length field is a binary data type. If I were to look at this same table in ArcGIS, the shape length field would be the length of the line. But in Power BI, the value in every row is "binary". How can I transform this column to give me the length of the line instead of "binary".
My goal is to sum the line (pipe) lengths of this field.
Hi,
This post is a few years old at this point, but I was wondering if you ever got this resolved or found a work around? My thought was creating a seperate numeric field on the feature class and calculating the Shape.Length values into the new field and use that field instead in Power BI for summing up pipe lengths. It's just a thought...but curious what you ended up doing?
Thanks,
Steve
Similar issue - Shape.Length calculated in ESRI comes across as tet of the coordiantes which ESRI presumably calculated the length between - looks like: "LINE STRING ( coord_start , coord_end) " with multiple sets of coordinates when there is a bend. I'm connecting to it via the SQC db. Any chance this will get resolved?

Could you share more details about "shape length field" and post some sample data?
