ArcGIS for Microsoft integrates geographic data, spatial analysis, and location services into Microsoft 365, Microsoft Power Platform, and Microsoft Fabric. Microsoft users can perform mapping visualization, spatial analysis and automation, and geospatial application development.
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 and is currently available for free in Fabric Runtime 1.3 during its public preview.
ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric is integrated into Fabric Runtime 1.3 within Microsoft Fabric’s Data Science and Engineering workloads.
To start using ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric, you, or a tenant administrator, will need to enable the library at the tenant-level via a toggle switch in the Admin Portal (Settings > Admin Portal > Tenant settings). Once the toggle is enabled, you can import the ArcGIS GeoAnalytics for Microsoft Fabric library with the name geoanalytics_fabric into your notebooks. No additional installation is required. Access detailed instructions in the Get started tutorial.
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.
