ArcGIS map time slider error

Hi,   I have a dataset on the freedom of the press that I'm trying to visualise. I am using ArcGIS map and would like to use the time slider to show how press freedom has changed over the years. ...

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Try adjusting the theme of the ArcGIS map as shown using the EDIT MAP from the ellipses in the top right hand corner of the map. You may then need to trial one country to see what is happening, perhaps the totals are too small to view the changes across the years. You may also need contiguous dates. If you add a table with your data on the same page this helps you see the 'Total Score' amount against each year.

 

  I have created a similar sample with world population  and China had the largest growth from 1960 and the bubble size increased using the time scale nicely as  across the years. 

Filter to one country only to help you debug.

 

 If you can share a sample of data the community may be able to help further.

Cheers,
Maria

    Unfortunately none of things you have mentioned seems to fix the issue. A sample data has been shared in the original post already.

    This would be such a cool feature if only it worked.

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Can you share you pbix file?  Good to see the entire dataset.

       

      Here is a sample file for you, this may help...

        Hi MariaP 

         

        Here is the pbix file

        Also very weirdly the time slider in the sample file you shared has the same bug as what I described. Maybe it's something with my computer/PBI desktop?
