Power BI Desktop Map

[Lamda]

Hey Guys,

I got a question the Power BI Desktop map capability. It doesn't seem to be able to show the lat/long coordinates. I looked at some of the online documentation - I set the columns in the data model to the data type of Lat/Long for each column. I then select a map and then my Lat/Long columns and I get nothing. If I just enter in the Lat or Long, I get coordinates like crazy but when I enter both, it loses all of those. I tried to enter another column in the location but then it counts that column and I only get one dot on my map.
Anyone else tried this or have got this to work on the Power BI Desktop?

Thanks,
Lamda

Hi, did you report this ? (frown) I noticed that I could create map in the previous version but am now facing your situation after last update...

Are you placing a column in the location field as well?

You can always provide specific latitude and longitude locations. When you do this, you'll also need to pass a Location field, otherwise the data is aggregated by default, so the location of the latitude and longitude may not match what you expected.

As mentioned it used to work but now the visualization is unable to consider the location and do not plot correctly the data, same data loads the map perfectly under Power View.

@Lamda You have to set your longitude and latitude as average or Min or Max... This will plot your data accurately.
