1 year agoMissing address in Map visual
This visual use to show all addresses in the data table, but now it's only showing 6 of the 66 addresses. I searched an address that is not showing a yellow dot in the map and it finds it...

This typically happens in ArcGIS for Power BI or the standard Power BI map visuals when some addresses fail to plot, even though they are searchable individually.
- Check your data
- Make sure all 66 addresses are present in your table and not filtered by a slicer, page filter, or visual-level filter.
- Look for extra spaces, spelling inconsistencies, or duplicates — clean your address column in Power Query if needed.
- Validate geocoding
- Sometimes ArcGIS stops plotting certain addresses if:
- The format is inconsistent (missing city/state/ZIP).
- The location type isn’t fully recognized (e.g., abbreviations like "St" vs "Street").
- Try standardizing addresses, e.g.:
5619 W 16TH ST, GREELEY, CO 80634- Check location settings
- In the Fields pane, ensure the data category is set correctly:
- Address = Address
- Or, if you have coordinates, use Latitude and Longitude fields for better accuracy.
- Data limit or rendering issue
- Some visuals (like ArcGIS Maps for Power BI) limit rendering by default, often around 3,500 points, but your count (66) is low, so this usually points to a data mismatch instead.
- Refresh the dataset or clear your browser cache if it’s a cached rendering glitch.
- Test in a new visual
- Add a fresh ArcGIS visual or even a basic Map visual to see if the missing addresses plot correctly there.
- If they do, the issue is with the visual settings in your original map.
- Check filters and layers
- In your screenshot, only two layers are present. Ensure your address layer is visible and not filtered.
- Use the zoom out option — sometimes addresses plot but are hidden due to map scale or clustering.
- Re-run the geocode
- If addresses still don’t appear, copy them into a separate file, import again, and let the map geocode them fresh.
I hope it will help
