Power BI - Getting city names from longitude/latitude.

[MihirK]

The names of cities in this dataset are misspelled. How to find the cities based on longitude and latitude given in the dataset?

Hi, @MihirK 

If your dataset contains latitude and longitude fields, Power BI can leverage those fields to accurately identify locations. In Power BI Desktop, drag the latitude data field to the Latitude section under Visualizations, and do the same for the longitude data in the Longitude section.

This step ensures that Power BI uses precise geographic coordinates to identify city names. For more details, see the documentation on map tips and tricks:

Power BI integrates with Bing for geocoding, which helps identify city names based on latitude and longitude. Make sure your data model is set up correctly in order to use this feature effectively. For more information about this, see the Power BI documentation:
