Map visual query
I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. You are correct, setting an assumption or criteria for what Power BI considers "successfully displayed" based on specific filter conditions may not accurately reflect what Power BI has truly understood or successfully mapped.
Power BI doesn't have an inherent capability to automatically detect what it has successfully read or understood on a map visual. It relies on the data provided and the mappings created by the user. Therefore, it's not possible for Power BI to independently determine which postcodes it has successfully displayed without some form of user-defined criteria or assumptions.
If you want Power BI to automatically determine which postcodes it successfully displays on a map, it would require advanced natural language processing (NLP) or image recognition capabilities, which are not native to Power BI. Such capabilities would involve complex AI algorithms and machine learning models to interpret the visual elements on the map, which typically falls outside the scope of Power BI's capabilities.
To achieve what you're looking for, you might consider exploring custom AI solutions that are capable of interpreting visual elements on a map. These solutions would require integration with Power BI and potentially custom development work to provide the desired functionality.
Please sahre in detail your issue and also share your data file if possible
Thank you for your response here.
I have done something similar currently to give an indication of how many postcodes should be seen on the map visual. I am interested to know if there is a more intuitive way of achieving this -- for pbi to essentially tell me how many postcodes it is able to read and present back in the map visual.
