Solved: A map problem

kamalkirfa · ‎12-08-2016

Hi,

I have a problem to locate two districts of the city of Montreal in Power BI map (i don't have the same problem with the other districts)

At first, i noticed that power bi considers that those two districts as cities in france and USA, So i added latitude and longitude informations. after that, i put "data categories: place" but no success. so, i changed the latitude and longitude with postal codes and i put "data categories: postal code". instead of putting those two districts in Montreal, it located them in the ocean near africa. Can some one help me please?

Thanks

Hi @kamalkirfa,

According to the picture provided above, I find that you're using "Count of Latitude" and "Count of Longitude" instead of your Latitude and Longitude themselves for Latitude field and Longitude field of the Map, which may be the cause of this issue.

So please make sure that the type of your Latitude and Longitude column is a number type instead of "Text" type, and make sure you're using your Latitude and Longitude themselves for Latitude field and Longitude field of the Map.

Regards
