Map of Schools by Student Enrolment

Hi Everyone,

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm new to Power BI and have watched tutorials on this subject but can't resolve this problem.

 

I'm trying to create a map of public schools in New South Wales (state), Australia by student enrolments. I keep getting this error:

NMDG_0-1652398963492.pngNMDG_1-1652399058284.png

I have categorised the longitude and latitude and set to 'don't summarize'.

 

If I remove longitude and latitude Bing shows schools all over the globe. I just want NSW and would like the exact locations for this data. Can someone please help me?

 

Thanks

Hi @VahidDM 

Thanks for your help with this. When I do remove schools from the column, no data appears on the map.

When I add 'school' to location, it appears like this:

This is kind of what I'm looking for. Do you know how I can limit the map to NSW?

 

Thanks,

Nathan

Well, you can use this custom visual:

BTW, are you sure your lat and long are correct? IF your data are for NSW schools it should not show any circle on US
