Anomalies using Filled map

Hi, i create a simple Visual using a csv file based on Italian Postal Code

Each Row is a postal code with associated a variable, let's assume MIN,MEDIUM,MAX

The problem is that while building it on PBI Desktop:

it seems correct.

The same report published on PBI service shows POSTAL CODES as located in United States:

 


Do you know why? Any suggestion?

I think that is related to the fact that I have my browser language set as English, since I tried with Firefox in Italian and it is working properly 😄

    Hi Br1-981 

     

    It is possible that the issue is related to the language settings of your browser. The Power BI service may be using the language settings of your browser to determine the location of the postal codes. If your browser is set to English, it may be defaulting to the United States.

     

    One suggestion would be to try changing the language settings of your browser to Italian and see if that resolves the issue. Another option would be to try setting the Display language to Italian instead of using browser language in the Power BI service.

     

    Additionally, you can try adding a Country column to the original table. In the Country column, it has "Italy" for all rows. Then add this Country column to Location field of the filled map visual along with Postal Code column. Keep it above Postal Code column. Then in the filled map visual, expand it to the Postal Code level. This may solve the problem as the country column provides a specific location information for all postal codes. In this way you don't need to change the language of web browser. 

     

    Hope this helps.
