Map works on desktop but not when published on PowerBi Online

Hey Folks, 

When I publish my dashboard on PowerBi Online, the map goes wrong. The map is working fine on my dektop version.

 

The column I am using "Region Fixed" has "State or Province" as a Data Category. I have tried "Address" and "Place" but it does not work. 

 

My issue is in 2 locations "Eastern Region" and "Al-Qaseem". "Eastern Region" is showing in Ghana and "Al-Qaseem" is showing in USA.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The Map will only identify valid data in the Location, Latitude, and Longitude . You may check if your location name is valid.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on my test in the latest version 2.81.5831.821 of Power BI Desktop, set the Data Category of [Region Fixed] with "State or Province" , the "Eastern Region" is showing in Ghana and "Al-Qaseem" is showing in MADAGASCAR. After publishing to Power BI Service, the two locations are showed as the same in Power BI Desktop.

Or could you share your data sample by uploading it to OneDrive and post the link here.  Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

Hey @v-xicai \,

Thanks. How can I make these regions show in Saudi Arabia in both desktop and PowerBI online?
