Power Bi Maps Australia

Hello guys,

 

I am trying to create a power BI map report where i would like to know number of employees by state, by city, by suburb.

 

When you click on particular state, it has to take to show count of employees by city and when you click on city it has to show count of employees by suburb.

 

Can you please let me know if the above is possible or not?

 

I tried to do it, but i could achieve only till state and city hierarchy. When i do suburb, it is showing details of other countries also.

 

Please check the data here:

When you click the drill down on the top left, please check the below by city

But when you click the drill down to the next level, here is the display:

Thanks,

Ravi

Try creating a derived column to combine the suburb, city, and country in either Power Query or DAX. I'm assuming you've already petitioned all local governments to change rename everything to be globally unique, and that's been denied 🙂

 

Using DAX: Suburb_Derived = Sheet2[Suburb] & ", " & Sheet2[City] & ", " & Sheet2[Country]

Hi @grkanth81,

 

Because there might existing same suburb name in different countries. That is why under suburb level, the map visual shows details of other countries also.

 

In order to uniquely identify suburb across the world, I would suggest you use PostCode. Please see below:
