Polygons Shape - ArcGis for Power BI

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am starting to use the app ArcGis for Power BI with the SQL datebase of maps in my company. Basically I need to plot polygons of sectors.

When I consult the database I have a column called SHAPE with this polygons showing the data like this example below:

But when I drop this column on the Location field and change the parameters of Location type like below, nothing happens.

The column SHAPE probably should be in another georeferencing unit, how can I change that?

Thanks.

Best Regards.

Hey @Anonymous ,

Can I ask you a question? How did get your "SHAPE" ?

Hey @Anonymous ,

you can't use the geometry datatype from SQL Server with the ESRI visual.

To visualize the shapes you have to use the icon-map custom visual, the current version that supports the geometry datatype is available here, as far as I know, the icon-map visual will be available also from the store in quite some time 😉 http://icon-map.com/

Hopefully, this will provide what you are looking for.

Regards,

Tom
