Map visual not displaying with latitude and longitude

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to use the map visualization using latitude and longitude and one summed data field. The map doesn't show anything though.

I've done the following to troubleshoot:

- Set my latitude and longitude Format to "Decimal number"

- Set Data category to "Longitude" and "Latitude"

- Set my post code field to Data category "Postal Code"

Below is a screen shot. What else could I try?

Hi jcueland,

 Are you using the Filled Mapg?  (You have an older version and the icons are no longer current.)   Also, I suggest that you update your PowerBI to the latest version as that might help you as well.

Assuming you are using the Filled Map, then I think your issue is not the Lat or Long but the Location field.  Select that field and then change the Data Category for it to the appropriate type.

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!

@Anonymous if you are using Lat and Lng, dont use postal code and see if it works.

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
