Hi!
I am trying to map ip addresses on Power BI.
I have referenced both of these (and a couple other articles):
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/IP-address-mapping/td-p/138436
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/IP-address-mapping-and-privacy-levels/td-p/224109
Here is a very simplified version of my data:
1. I create a custom function:
let Source = (#"IP Address" as text) => let Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://freegeoip.net/json/" & #"IP Address")), #"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source), #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table") in #"Promoted Headers" in Source
2. I try to invoke the function and get this error:
"Formula.Firewall: Query 'New Students' (step 'Invoked Custom Function') is accessing data sources that have privacy levels which cannot be used together. Please rebuild this data combination.
3. I tried to reference this article to fix the problem (https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2017/06/26/data-privacy-settings-in-power-bipower-query-part-3-the-form...), but I am a DAX dummy and cannot apply it…
Can someone please give me an example of how to properly call this custom function and mapping the IP addresses?
PS - My data is private and I cannot change it to public.
Thank you!!
Hi @Anonymous ,
If your data is confidential, the mapping address function is not a effective solution because it will send ip to the api to get the address. So You can try to import a full version of geo ip database into Power BI, and combine with your data in Power Query Editor.

@v-lid-msftthanks for the reply!
I was exploring and thought perhaps I could use this to get the country geolocation.
The file is a SQL file... how could I use this in Power BI?

Thank you!
Hi @Anonymous ,
We can import the sql file into a SQL Server then use the Power BI to connect it, or just export it as a excel and import it into Power BI.
Or you can download GeoLite2 Country database with a csv format from maxmind and import it into the powerbi.
