ArcGIS custom map not importing

[Remie9]

Hi,

I created recently a map on ArcGIS.com but I am not able to retrieve it when adding a reference layer to my PowerBI ESRI map.

Can you help me out on how I can make it appear when I search for it?

@Remie9,

Have you shared the file to Everyone(Public) in ArcMaps.com? Please refer to the following blog and article to add your custom Reference Layer for Power BI ESRI map.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I managed to create the map using ArcGIS pro for desktop. Added layer with polygons to it. Then added the reference layer to PowerBI. I can see the Polygons when importing but when the laye ris added, I cannot see any drawings. The ArcGIS map is MCIAx.

Can you please help?

Maybe its becasue I do not have the plus subscription.

Thanks

Jeremie.

@Remie9,

I am not clear about your scenario now, could you please post screenshots? And have you followed the guide in the articles I have post to add custom layer?

Hello,

I created a new map and then added a feature class to the correct database. Draew the polygons, saved then published. All went well.

The layer is now visible. I created it in the home database instead of the 'map' database which was wrong and i believe it was why it was not visibel on powerBI.

Also the Tutorial on ESRI web site does not say where to create the Feature class. Its in the database folder. The tutorial is out of date compared to the newest version I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.0.1 . Very confusing.

But in the end I managed to link the ESRI map from reference layer ARCGIS to the PowerBI ESRI map.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jeremie,

Could you please share the steps of connecting ArcGIS map to Power BI? I am also facing the same issue. I have created the map on ARCGIS map which is saved in organisational account and now I want to import the map into power bi.
