Support ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server.

This was delivered.

Thanks for your feedback - at this time, we're not planning to add this capability to Power BI Report Server. We understand this will be disappointing to many of you who've voted and provided feedback, and this wasn't a decision made lightly. And of course, you'll continue to see investments in these capabilities in the Power BI service going forward.

We need it too. In my job is a necessary feature!

There is an approximate date to solve?

The ability to create R and ESRI visuals in the desktop tool but not publish those visuals to Report Server is extremely dissapointing for anyone who (obviously wants to, but) cannot push data into the cloud.

This is a terrible decision! Please reconsider this, since we don't have the option to become "cloud-oriented"!

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

I don't get it. Microsoft yields to on-prem customer pressure and develops Power BI Report Server, and then immediately culls the addition of critical features to it.

With dashboards, R visuals and ArcGIS all confirmed as never to be added, Power BI Report Server is dead.

With many engine features now not requiring an Enterprise licence I can see a lot of customers scaling back to Standard.

How any of this makes sense for Microsoft's shareholders is beyond me.

'This is extremely disappointing, particularly as it is available on the PBI Service version. It was a key feature my organisation were waiting for.

Chris Finlan:
- Could this decision be reconsidered?
- Would it be possible to provide any further information as to why it is not planned or if an alternative is being considered? Issue between ESRI and Microsoft?
- "And of course, you’ll continue to see investments in these capabilities in the Power BI service going forward". What is the future for PBI report server then? No further investment?

If it is allowed for powerbi.com it should be available for Report Server

RE: ESRI ArcGIS maps in Power BI Report Server

if this is not planned, are there any plans to improve the map visuals? The current maps are inferior to most other reporting tools and our business users are questioning why we dropped Tableau in favor of Power BI because of how bad the maps look in comparison.

This really needs to be added.

This would seriously be helpful. We are unable to use the service at my company.
