Frequently asked questions

ArcGIS for Power BI offers a standard experience that doesn’t require user types for ArcGIS to get started. However, this experience comes with limited functionality and limited access to ArcGIS data. When paired with user types, you can unlock additional functionality such as data enrichment, buffer analysis, and drive-time analysis. 

User types also allow you to access your organization’s authoritative geospatial data to add greater context to Power BI reports. For more information on the capabilities available for each user type, please refer to the user types page.

Note: ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric is not included with user types. It can be purchased through the Azure Marketplace.

You can purchase an ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric subscription through the Azure Marketplace, with renewal options available either manually or through auto-renewal every 30 days. If you deplete your 500 core-hours before the 30-day term ends, you can purchase additional subscriptions as needed to provide additional core-hours needed to continue using the library.

The 30-day subscription includes 500 core-hours. These core-hours can be used within the 30-day term and are shared across your organization.

Core-hours are the units used to track the resources consumed while processing and analyzing spatial data using the GeoAnalytics for Fabric library. They are used when you actively process data with GeoAnalytics for Fabric functions, tools, or data sources, and the usage is tracked and deducted from the total core-hours included with your subscription. You can track your core-hour usage through the ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric dashboard or by using the geoanalytics.auth_info() or geoanalytics.usage() functions. For more information on core-hours, refer to the Understanding core-hours in ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric blog.

The subscription is per organization. It comes with a single set of access credentials for administering the subscription. You can generate API keys to facilitate individual or multiple user usage across your organization. For more information on setting up API key-based access, please refer to The Using API key-based authentication with GeoAnalytics for Fabric blog.

After purchasing, new customers will receive an email with instructions on how to activate their ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric subscription. You'll need to create account credentials and use them to authenticate and access the ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric libraries within Microsoft Fabric. For more details, refer to the Setting up your new ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric account blog.

After purchasing and creating an account, ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric must be enabled at the capacity level before it can be used. More information on enabling the library can be found in the documentation. Once the library is enabled, you can import it into your data science and data engineering workloads after authenticating to your account using your access credentials or API keys.

Yes. The ArcGIS for Power BI visualization is a core visualization in Power BI and does not need to be added from AppSource for you to begin using it.

ArcGIS for Power BI has a similar experience to other Power BI visualizations. It can be used as a filter, or be filtered, as the report is interrogated. The visualization can be extended further with other contextual layers to provide additional insight into the data being used.

Whether you are using Power BI or accessing the data through a data hub, you can reference the location information the same way you would with Power BI datasets. When the data is referenced in the report, drag the appropriate field into the location or Longitude and Latitude cells. 

For more information on how to get Fabric data into Power BI, please read the Microsoft documentation.
